The core of the book is about stimulating new strategic thinking and action to enhance the competitiveness of a firm.

Navigating strategic possibilities involves the invention and re-invention of an organisation. Strategic leadership, as a part of this navigation journey, is an integral guiding force of the strategic choices an organisation makes to fulfil its future aspirations. In this book, the key strategic choices related to the competitive advantage and positioning of an organisation are presented in an integrated strategic architecture perspective, and the following seven strategic architecture building blocks are discussed:

• Strategic leadership as a key capacity that gives life, meaning and on-going momentum to the strategy of an organisation.
• The development of views on the external and internal strategic landscape and context of an organisation.
• Strategy formulation and development which include a menu of strategic options and choices to consider.
• The development of multiple futures perspectives for an organisation.
• Strategy execution practices to make it a lived reality for stakeholders.
• Strategy renewal and innovation practices to refresh the strategy on a continuous basis.
