Reviews

Michael A. Cusumano, SMR Distinguished Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and coauthor of Strategy Rules and The Business of Platforms:
Making Great Strategy is about how managers SHOULD make strategy. Hindsight is always 20-20, but, while in the middle of figuring out what to do and what not to do, it is always important to 'think about how we think.' This book helps you do that.

Andy Rachleff, cofounder, CEO, and executive chairman, Wealthfront; previously cofounder and senior partner, Benchmark Capital.:
Sørensen and Carroll have developed an incredibly powerful yet simple way to build a compelling corporate strategy. After reading the book you’ll wonder why everyone doesn’t do it this way.
