What's Our Deal? -- New strategy podcast episode available now

The fifth episode of my new podcast series, Strategy and the Fat Smoker, is now live and available for download.

It is dedicated to exploring the themes found in my article by the same name.  I encourage you to forward these to friends and associates who may be interested in the topics covered.

"What's Our Deal?" focuses on with how many companies strive for a climate of commonality and coordination, but fall short in practice due to a lack of commitment or even for a lack of clearly stated goals or rules.  This episode takes a look at how a company can build solid, non-negotiable rules of membership in order to create unified, forward momentum at all levels of the organisation.
