The first video provides a brief introduction to strategy. The beginning section of the video discusses some of the hard evidence why strategy is an important indicator of future success. Prominent executives, multinational corporations and members of the media and business community have also heralded the importance of strategy and examples are given. The video briefly explains the concept of strategy and discusses some of the definitions of strategy that one is likely to encounter. There are many benefits to learning strategy and a couple of the most outstanding are mentioned. Strategy is clearly important and worth an investment of one’s time, but many people find strategy difficult. Five of the biggest challenges are discussed.
