Reviews
<p>“The process of strategy formulation has traditionally been the domain of the 'left brain' relying on data, logic, and analysis. This is only one-half of the story. We know that intuition, imagination and the holistic 'right-brained' comprehension of the situation play as important a role. Carlopio's Strategy by Design is a valuable balanced contribution to the literature on strategy.”<br>—Dr. Kenichi Ohmae, ‘Mr Strategy’ and author of The Mind of the Strategist and The Borderless World <p>“Strategic thinking is not the same as strategic design. But strategic design can - and should - reframe strategic thinking. Carlopio's emphasis on the tools, techniques and frameworks for design innovation not only enhances strategic thought but should help smooth the paths to innovative actions.”<br>—Michael Schrage, co-director of the MIT Media Lab’s eMarkets Initiative
