Strategy decision-making and action were once the exclusive domain of a select few at the very top of an organization. It was a predominantly cerebral exercise, characterized by grand long-term plans formulated during annual off-site retreats, far removed from the day-to-day realities of the business. However, that landscape has undergone a significant transformation. The current business environment does not afford companies the luxury of gradual adjustment through annual meetings. The relentless pace of change has rendered today's long-term future a mere footnote in history. Rapid innovations and ever-increasing complexities have limited executives' ability to make decisions with complete information. Does this imply that strategy is no longer relevant or feasible? Far from it. The demand for skilled strategists has never been greater. However, high-performing organizations view strategy differently today. They integrate strategy into the roles of every manager, fostering a continuous and iterative approach. These companies tackle strategic problems by drawing upon the expertise and perspectives of individuals from across the organization.

In this dynamic and fast-paced world, strategy revolves around diagnosing the diverse array of complex challenges facing organizations, identifying novel solutions to address those challenges, and taking decisive action to implement those solutions. This requires a new organizational framework and the presentation of previously unpublished application examples. Strategy in 3D is designed to impart these foundational skills and equip readers with the tools they need to succeed as strategists in the 21st century. By embracing a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, organizations can navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
