Strategic Insight is Not on the CEO Radar - Alessandro Di Fiore - Harvard Business Review ⇢

This is really something that echoes a problem I have been pondering for years: I really agree with Drucker on the issue and I been for many year but why is strategic insight so under valued and overlooked? When discussing the need for real insights the whole discussion usually ends with a lunch-to-lunch exercise in the woods… because “we have already planned that and we don’t have more time to spend”. The message about the importance of investing time and energy looking for a strategic insight simply doesn’t get through!

In the research ECSI have found a four suggestions to why might be that way:

• Insight is confused with innovation = wrong expectations of what it is
• Insight has no owner = pieces of it are spread
• Schumpeter’s bias  = we seems to believe insight is an individual property
• Lack of internal integration = thinking and doing is usually not connected

I think I should write something more about this soon since I believe there are some other underlying aspects as well.

Read the really interesting post.
