If strategy is about the future... can we trust the past?

Hello Fellow Strategist,

“Strategy is about the future. All evidence is about the past. Therefore, strategy cannot be evidence-based.”

I see variations of this statement surprisingly frequently.

But is it statement true? Or is it a dangerous myth that needs debunking?

If we can’t use evidence to build strategy, what can we use? Vision? Gut feel? Industry wisdom?

This Thursday, join fellow strategists, consultants, and executives at #stratChat as we dive into this provocative question. Expect a lively, thoughtful debate—and the chance to contribute your own perspective and experience.

Whether you're an evidence evangelist or a strategic visionary, your voice belongs in this conversation.
