Introduction: Dr. Peter Drucker, renowned thought leader who shaped much of what we know about leadership and business today, said: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” What are you doing to create your organization's future? Are you focused on innovation, or maintaining the status quo? What measurable outcomes are you driving toward to achieve marketplace and industry innovation? How are you managing your business to drive toward these outcomes? Does your organization have a 3-5 year strategic plan to frame these outcomes? If not, how will you achieve these outcomes? All innovation starts with strategy. Piecemeal, niche-focus, department-level frameworks fail to see the forest for the trees. Enterprise-level business strategy is a proven must for cohesive, transformational growth. C-level executives must be able to answer the question "WHY is this important?" to drive change, and the WHY is undefinable without strategy.
