IS STRATEGY DEAD?



As we get going in this new year, we raise a provocative question: Is Strategy Dead? Not merely to be provocative. Rather, to pull together a number of, now, long-running and momentum-gaining trends - across virtually all sectors of marketing. If, like us, you assume that gaining a sustainable competitive advantage is at the heart of any legitimate strategy, these long-running and momentum-gaining trends are not merely disturbing. They indicate that marketing strategy may in fact be dead - or, at least, in dire need of life support.

I'd like to relate a positive experience I had in my travels home following the holidays from Barcelona to Chicago and what learning we may take from that experience my brand of airline services delivered and, importantly, helped strengthen my bond with them.
