I wanna be a management booklet (or do I?)

Today I was reading one of those visionary presentations that you always wonder if the author wrote under the effects of some opiate. But I came across a slide that addresses exactly the 3 questions I was asking myself in the morning when I woke up in the same anxious anticipation that wakes me up every morning since I moved here.

Those 3 questions where masterfully articulated by the author as follows:

Strategic decisions: what business are we in and where are new opportunities for growth?

Operational decisions: how do we structure our business units to most effectively compete for and win market share?

Tactical decisions: which customers are available to us and how can we convince them to chose us over any and all functional equivalents?

Nicely put. Now I continue to rake my mind and scrutinise my peers to answer these questions in the most value adding manner for the business ;-)
