Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick: People, Probabilities, and Big Moves to Beat the Odds (soft cover))

The authors of the book, members of McKinsey & Company, analyzed the strategic planning of a thousand leading companies and determined that they all plan their own growth according to almost the same scheme. Their growth graph is similar to a hockey stick, because it shows a certain decline at the start and a gradual steady rise later. However, in reality, this is not the case, and you can achieve much greater success almost immediately if you ignore the decision-making patterns and pay attention to the wrong conclusions.

How to take risks, make large-scale changes, take into account the human factor in work - all these questions will be answered by the authors of this book. They'll make you a little braver and open your eyes to how strategic planning works in real life—and why it's wrong.
