As the title reads, what's your go to source for strategy insights i.e., on what's moving in the industry and to build business acumen? There's a lot of good sources for corporate finance including Damodaran and Michael Mauboussin - im looking at that same caliber of work for corporate strategy both qualitative and quantitive insights one can use in day-to-day; looking to dedicate 30-1hr reading every 2 days.
I've currently looked at:
-Mckinseys strategy insights
-BCG as one too
Watch CNBC youtube for good bite-sized perspectives on business models and companies. notice that after a while most takeaways are repetitive - remember and apply those concepts
hey there :)
For high quality strategy thinking beyond firm blogs, I would focus on a mix of Harvard Business Review for structured qualitative insights, Strategy Science papers by people like Michael Porter for first principles, and selected investor letters and industry deep dives from funds such as TCI or Pershing Square for applied strategy logic. McKinsey and BCG insights are fine as a supplement, but they are more useful when read critically rather than as primary learning material. This kind of mix fits well into a 30 to 60 minute routine and builds real business judgment over time. Happy to share more if helpful.
best,
Alessa :)
