Love this resource list! Some of those numbers feel unbelievable, but also spot on. You don’t realize how true they are until you actually start paying attention.
I was especially intrigued by the last one with the 3 players at a 4:2:1 ratio. Do you think social media is a stable enough industry to apply that kind of model?
I think it is still a very fast growing market. For Tiktok to come in and gain such share in such a short time does not happen in stable markets usually :)
The stats on meetings is very telling. At the start of my career, I used to hate them because there was never really anytime to execute the action steps agreed on in the meetings.
There is also a stat from McKinsey about value wasted by ineffective meetings. "Managers at a typical Fortune 500 company may waste more than 500,000 days a year—equivalent to about $250 million in annual wages—on ineffective decision making"
This is such a timeless and classic list of resources. I have always wondered what strategy work entails and how the big guys think. These list of resources seem to provide a good foundation! This stat was really crazy: "only 28% of executives and middle managers responsible for executing strategy could list three of their company’s strategic priorities." Woah...Like what???
Hey, awesome job curating these strategy pieces! It’s a solid mix of topics too, meetings to market rules. Looking forward to the next roundup, keep it up!
A common denominator here across the different viewpoints that are discussed is the need to keep things simple, hence perhaps why your content resonates so well with people.

Thank you Chintan. I am sure these stats will become even worse if we take a larger database of organizations :)
Ooooo damn that’s bad!
