You will gain both big-picture scope and nitty-gritty tools for organizational analysis, planning, and change. You will learn how to speed-read the literature on strategy, organization, leadership, management, and the like because so much of it is derivative and redundant. Old wine in new bottles.

The challenge is to mix and match appropriately. Playbook shows how.
