Strategy Quotes Slide 2 Strategy is about making the right
choices. Implementation is about talking the right actions. Robin

do Michael Porter Slide 5 Ultimately, strategy is a way of
thinking, not a procedural exercise or a set of frameworks. Phil

regularly and become, in a sense, the driving force behind
everything the company does. Louis V. Gerstner Former CEO of IBM

lies in detecting subtle discontinuities that may undermine a
business in the future. And for that there is no technique, no

people may say, Ive got a complex strategy. It cant be reduced to a
page. Thats nonsense. Thats not a complex strategy. Its a complex
thought about the strategy. Larry Bossidy Slide 20 If you are
shooting for second place, your strategy is determined by the
leader. Al Ries and Jack Trout Slide 21 Change is not a
