Business challenge
Executive Strategy Retreats are an opportunity for executives to focus on the underlying issues across their organization. McKinsey published a research-based article on how organizations are getting strategy wrong—and how to do it right. Too much corporate work on strategy has devolved into setting financial-performance goals rather than addressing important and often imminent difficulties. McKinsey defines serious strategy situations as “gnarly” because they present multiple issues where the underlying forces and logic at work are not immediately obvious.
