Why As-Is mapping could make or break your strategy

Hello Fellow Strategist,

Before you develop a new strategy, how well do you really understand the way things work today?

This Thursday at #stratChat, we're tackling a critical yet often overlooked question in strategic planning:

How important is it to describe your current (as-is) operating model before developing a new strategy? And when can you safely skip it?

Whether you're a consultant building structured frameworks, a CXO steering transformation, or a founder pivoting fast—understanding the now is often the key to getting to next.

Join peers from across industries as we explore:

When a detailed as-is model is vital—and when it's just noise.
Practical ways to map your current state quickly and effectively.
Real-world examples of strategy success and failure hinging on this step.

🎤 Come with your stories.
🧠 Stay for the insights.
📅 Leave with sharper strategic instincts.

📅 When? Thursday at 14h00 UK time
📍 Where? Online via Zoom
