Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings An organization that boasts effective strategies is best positioned to optimize its performance. Putting such strategies in place is only the start though. Companies must also regularly evaluate their impact and ensure that they remain relatively uncomplicated. However, many operators fail in these respects while others become complacent. Author and inspirational speaker Steve Maraboli once argued that “a lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success”. Such sentiments have become increasingly relevant in the current business environment where change seems the only certainty. As industries splinter and competition intensifies further, clearly defined strategies are undoubtedly more critical still. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the worlds leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
