Over a stellar career, Roger Martin has advised the CEOs of some of the world's most successful companies. From the beginning, he noted that almost every executive he talked to had a "model"—a framework or way of thinking that guided their strategy and activities. But these models tended to become automatic, so much so that when one didn't work, the typical response was just to apply it again—with greater enthusiasm.

Martin took a fresh, critical approach to helping. When company leaders came to him with fundamental questions—How do you decide where to play and how to win? What is the key to shaping and changing corporate culture? How can you design a successful, sustainable innovation process?—his first response was to break the spell of the current model with a memo articulating a new way to think about the problem at hand and a more powerful and effective way to overcome it.

Over time, these ideas worked their way into Martin's many Harvard Business Review articles. Now, for the first time, they appear together in A New Way to Think. With his trademark incisive intellect and clarity, Martin covers the entire breadth of the management landscape—illuminating the true nature of competition, explaining how company success revolves around customers, revealing how strategy and execution are really the same thing, and much more.

What counts is what would have to be true - not what is true

I have been a fan of Roger L. Martin for a while now. He is able to get strategy and convert it to actionable processes that business owners and consultants can easily understand and extend to their day-to-day environment.

Each chapter made me gain a few IQ points

I am a big fan of Roger Martin and once again I loved his work. I felt not only challenged about old ideas but also supported in understanding a little bit better some complex mechanisms of business and strategy. At the end of the day, no easy answers but much better questions that I’d never asked myself before.

The best business strategy genius of all time

I’ve been following Roger for 10 years now and he’s changed my life! His books, HBR articles and lectures on YouTube facilitate my ability to think critically both personally and professionally.

“A New Way To Think” efficiently presents alternatives to cookie cutter “plans” that look good on paper, but don’t require the sophistication necessary to yield truly appropriate results. The book clearly demonstrates true strategy while entertaining with anecdotes and delighting with data.

My only critique is that Roger is far too humble when he emphasizes how “there are no right or wrong answers, just better and worse ones.” I personally believe he deserves mad respect for demonstrating his superior expertise! But maybe his modesty is what makes the book resound so true.

Please invest in the integrity of your future and read this book (and all of his other ones). Then, to ensure maximum learning, go look him up on YouTube for all the lectures and interviews that compliment them.

A Thinking Partner to Executives

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 7, 2022

This book repurposes Roget Martin’s HBR articles with emphasis on the need for continuous “integrative thinking” and what I think of as “disciplined agility”. It is an excellent resource for executives and their advisers written by a reflective practitioner. Also, worth reading his masterful 2007 book, “The Opposable Mind”. This earlier book is a primer re how integrative thinking works. It is a still useful field guide re how to think thru complex business challenges. In brief, we need more strategy advisors who think with clients adapting frameworks and approaches in real time in agile yet disciplined ways like Martin does. On a critical note, I would have liked a longer and more substantive Introduction and Afterword linked to case examples, integrative thinking practices, and, importantly, Martin’s own fieldwork driven learnings.

excellent and simple to read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

I’ve read a lot of management books and this was simple to read and effective. They were broken into case studies that could be read independently which made it easier to digest.

In all cases the author’s experience and humility showed through, and his examples were not the same as the ones you see in every other typical management book.
