Your hosts

One thing is certain in these uncertain times: hope is not a strategy. As hosts of the podcast and authors of the book of the same name, it is therefore a special desire of ours to enable strategy makers to share their practical experiences. In this way, we can debunk the myth of strategy and provide inspiration on how to win with strategic work in these times. For this reason, we look forward to welcoming you to our first StrategySummit at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management in Düsseldorf. In addition to exciting keynotes, panel discussions and workshops, the focus of this unique event will be on the exchange with you and the strategy community.We look forward to seeing you!
