#176 Great Strategy in a Complex World

#176 Great Strategy in a Complex World

Most organizations invest heavily in strategy to gain alignment—only to see those plans fall apart when complexity enters the picture. In this episode of the Humanizing Work Show, Peter Green and Richard Lawrence share a better way to build product strategy—one designed for complexity.

They introduce the Strategy Steps Canvas, a lightweight tool that helps teams chart an adaptive, value-driven path from current reality to a compelling vision. Along the way, you'll learn why most strategic plans fail, how to avoid wasting time on over-specified roadmaps, and what Netflix can teach us about strategic evolution.

Whether you’re a leader, product manager, or team member looking to connect daily work to long-term impact, this episode will help you rethink how you approach strategy in complex environments.
