I enjoyed reading this book very much - not only from the strategic exploration standpoint.
On top of sharing his own personal and professional experiences of applying the strategies in Royal Dutch/Shell group, the author gives an excellent explanation about our innate human ability to strategise, since our caveman days. Once you understand his explanation, you will begin to realise why scenario building is quite a piece of cake.
Neverthesless, I would strongly recommend readers to read this book in conjunction with Peter Schwartz's The Art of the Long View. The reason is this: this book gives you only the what’s and why’s while Peter Schwartz's gives you the what’s and the how’s. Both books complement each other. |

Arie provides a very good picture of companies that have sustained centuries of change. His research reveals what makes them click and what they aare doing that others are not doing. Some of his insights are packaged within the context of a company that truly has life time employment which some of us can not even imagine. His experiences in management and leadership will not necessarily ring true to many of us. Many of us simply will never have the opportunites that he has had. On the other hand, the work that he captures is excellent on sustainability and I highly recommend that if sustainability in business is an interest to you, that you read this book. |
