This is one of the volumes in a series published by McGraw-Hill Education and co-authored by Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove. They wrote it in response to that question.I really like the basic concept: Crainer and Dearlove selected a major business subject such as strategy and then asked, "Which cutting edge thinkers should we consult to share their thoughts about this?"

And so they do lots of analysis, put together very thick documents that sit on shelves, quite famously, and it's because they haven't made a few key choices. What we distilled it down to in our practice is five key choices. If you make those choices, you'll have a strategy. If you haven't made those choices, your strategy is probably not worth having.[Note: The first of the five questions Martin then discusses is, "What is your winning aspiration?
