Learn the Solutions to Your Top Strategy Challenges with Robert Simons, SEVEN STRATEGY QUESTIONS

March 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA (March 1, 2011) – Tune in to insightful and unrivaled interviews with authors of leading business books on the StrategyDriven Podcast. Unlike typical author interviews, Nathan Ives, MBA, PMP goes beyond the written word directly to the day-to-day application of principles readers can immediately implement in their businesses.  Find out how Robert Simons, author of SEVEN STRATEGY QUESTIONS, responds to Nathan’s questions regarding how leaders can better translate their business strategy into day-to-day operations. This podcast is now available at www.StrategyDriven.com.  Listen to learn about how leaders can formally incorporate the SEVEN STRATEGY QUESTIONS into their business processes in order to identify gaps within their strategies and their respective executions.
   “Successful business strategy lies not in having all the right answers, but rather in asking the right questions,” says Harvard Business School professor Robert Simons.  “Business leaders can't develop and execute effective strategy without first gathering the right information.”  In his new book, Seven Strategy Questions: A Simple Approach for Better Execution, Dr. Simons explains how posing these questions can help executives and managers identify gaps between their business strategy and its execution and then make the smart choices to eliminate those shortfalls.
   Nathan only selects titles that meet a stringent set of StrategyDriven requirements. First, the title must be aligned with the StrategyDriven mission of delivering best practice solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses, including strategic planning, decision making, leadership, management, and organizational performance.  Secondly, the authors must be highly respected in their field of study.
   StrategyDriven author interviews are uniquely different than the average book review.  The primary difference, these podcasts are not simply book reviews or summaries.  Nathan reads each book prior to the interview and questions the author for a deeper understanding of the important strategies discussed in the book and probes for examples of real-world implementation of those strategies.  As a result, listeners get more information, including, author advice not contained within the book; offering additional value listeners can incorporate into their business model.  Additionally, StrategyDriven interview articles contain quick links to supplementary materials provided by the author.
