I was lucky enough to see an insightful talk by Max McKeown at Warwick Business School as part of my MBA in 2019. I have since read 'The Strategy Book'. It is an enjoyable and engaging read, I would thoroughly recommend it! At approx 240 pages including a strategy toolkit (around 70 pages) which provides a useful summary of the main strategic frameworks, it is a fairly quick read that you'll want to carry around with you, and keep dipping in to. It is packed full of practical advice, real-world examples, and useful insights.

I bought this book to try and create a strategy for the job I'm in, but only found a couple of pages that catered for that. This book is definitely for people who own their own business or are head of a company. I also found that some of the paragraphs seemed like they were trying to fill up the page, when it could have been said in one sentence.

I never really understood strategy until I bought and read this book. I'd heard people talk of strategy. Sure. But understanding it is something else. In my field of work I'm.very focused on pleasing the client ( not sexually) economically. I work with numbers, mergers, business. However strategy has opened up something new for me. Like a lamb in the womb waiting for birth. Hearing the bleating of other sheep but not quite knowing what is in store for me. Since reading this book I have not only blossomed in the workplace but I have had a rebirth ( or sorts) I am a strategist now. I work through things differently. I am different. I am free.

A simple and clear read, consolidates concepts in an easily digestible way. Slightly annoyed that a the most useful diagram of the book has not printed properly.

"Everything in strategy is simple, but the simplest things are complex." (Mackeown, M., 2020, The Strategy Book, 3rd ed. Harlow: Pearson Education Ltd.) I feel fortunate to have found this book primarily because it offers a strategic masterclass in such a prescriptively descriptive manner that is rare. It nearly hand-holds you, rather accessibly, through the interconnecting parts of the strategy implementation process. I would dearly recommend this book if you are the one for maturing a worldview of strategy-as-practice. It is my go-to book for all matters strategy.
