Reviews

I've learned more about strategic thinking from Fred than I did in my time at Harvard Business School Practical and comprehensive, How to Be Strategic reveals how to build your strategic mindset and gives you the most powerful tools You can learn more from Fred in a few hours than taking a strategy course over a semester as part of your MBA program! Fred's energy and expertise shine through irrespectively of the delivery method, and our 500+ learners this year have commented on clear frameworks, engaging style, and relevant examples every time I really like Fred's ability to explain with real life examples. His approach is far from being 'classic academic'; one could say that his is rather the perspective of a 'literate entrepreneur'. Fred is a very good story teller, and he holds your attention throughout Fred has brought valuable approaches to strategic analysis that have fast become go-to tools for our team. His sharp intellect, and deep knowledge of the tools left us perfectly equipped to use them in practice right away Sainsbury's have worked in partnership with Fred over many years, to develop the 'Strategic Mindset' of our brightest talent. His content is always hugely popular. Don't miss an opportunity to turn your teams into budding entrepreneurs Fred's concise and disruptive ideas have the power to align teams, change minds and speed up innovation Expand reviews
