"One of the major problems facing business leaders today is how to reinvent their business to survive and excel. Yet, strategy innovations remain elusive to many, and there has yet to be a widely accepted theory on how to achieve the success of trendsetters such as Apple or Cirque du Soleil.

"The process of strategy formulation has traditionally beenthe domain of the 'left brain' relying on data, logic, and analysis.This is only one-half of the story.We know that intuition, imagination and the holistic 'right-brained' comprehension of the situation play as important a role.Carlopio's Strategy by Design is a valuable balanced contribution to the literature on strategy." - Dr. Kenichi Ohmae, 'Mr Strategy' and author of The Mind of the Strategist and The Borderless World

"Strategic thinking is not the same as strategic design. But strategic design can - and should - reframe strategic thinking.
