Anonymous A, an "exciting strat project" would be one where you are working on something important to the company, where you are building something, try to outsmart the competition, improve a critical process... anything that's a little hard, where the outcome has potential to derive significant value to the company and generally move the needed. You also run the risk of failing obviously, so you have to be on your toes the whole time. But if it works... man it's fun! In my current job for example, I am building a new business capability for Samsung, and we've gone from business concept to well over $100M in revenue in 3 years (nearly $200M in 4 actually). Tell me that's not exciting?

"Strategic Planning"... will do none of that. Again, nice career trajectory - but if you don't add value, doesn't it feel a little empty? Works for some I guess, I prefer to build stuff vs. just talking about / reporting on them :)

could you guys share what is considered an "exciting strategy project"?

Hi,

Agree with Guennael here, don't rely on buzzwords

Based on my experience in various organization strategic planning is definitely less exciting and refers more to numbers tracking rather than strategy.
