5.0 out of 5 starsProfound, insightful and impactful!
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 5, 2020
This is by far one of the most insightful and impactful books on strategy formulation that empowers you with a real-world, battle-tested framework that actually works! Worth reading it again and again. A must read for business leaders and decision makers across industries, functions and roles. Hat's off to the author's!

3.0 out of 5 starsVery consumer-goods focussed.
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 29, 2021
The five questions process and supporting systems are interesting but the examples are all about consumer goods. I was, however, able to extract some wisdom for the nonprofit organisations with which I work. It would be interesting to see a more in depth analysis of using this approach in the nonprofit context.

5.0 out of 5 stars Playing to Win meets GettingItDone
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 3, 2013

We have been conducting the popular GettingItDone 2nd yr MBA Course at the Rotman School for 12 years now and next year we'll incorporate Playing to Win as the strategy piece because it sets up perfectly that you have to get it done as well as decide what to do. We love it.////////// And it's now three years later and still using the text. Timeless
