Has Business Strategy Already Been Solved? 🤔

Hello Fellow Strategist,

Many sports are considered "solved"—where data and analytics have uncovered the optimal way to play.

♟️ Chess & Go? AI dominates.

🏀 Basketball? Three-pointers rule.

⚽ Football (Soccer)? Data-driven tactics like gegenpressing optimise play.

But has business strategy followed the same path? With big data, AI, and automation, are we simply executing a predefined winning formula? Or is there still room for disruption and innovation?

History suggests we’re never truly done. Lord Kelvin once said there was nothing new to discover in physics—just before Einstein rewrote the rules.

Industries once thought “solved” (like taxis, hotels, and retail) were disrupted by innovators who changed the game entirely.

So, is strategy about following best practices—or breaking them?

That's what we'll be discussing this Thursday at #stratChat:

📅 When? Thursday at 14h00 UK time
