134: Four Building Blocks of Strategy



This episode presents to you the Four Building Blocks of Strategy. Keen to ignore the jargon, avoid complications and use a simple, structured mindset? Then this episode is worth a listen.


You’ll hear how to strip strategy back to its four core components:

  • Vision

  • Sticking points and accelerators

  • Defining your general approach

  • Action plan

Strategy really can be surprisingly simple and this episode covers how to make it work for you. Strategic thinking can be for everyone.


If you’re developing a strategy, use these steps to guide you.


If you’re looking to test the robustness of your strategy, ask yourself questions about each of these building blocks to gauge whether they have all been considered.


There are many past episodes covering this topic. Take a listen.
