Corporate Strategy Conference speech by Prof Loizos Heracleous

How to be Ambidextrous: The road to Strategic Advantage

Corporate Strategy and Strategic Ambidexterity 

 

“A key distinguishing factor of effective leaders and strategic thinkers, is the ability to recognize both tensions as well as complementarities; and think in an integrative, both/and perspective rather than a binary, either/or manner.  Great strategists find ways to balance competing objectives through particular organizational and strategic choices; that is, they think and act ambidextrously.”

 Prof. Loizos Heracleous
