Ep 34 How Do Leaders Make Decisions When There's No Time and No Certainty?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit <a href="https://longtermstrategy.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7">longtermstrategy.substack.com</a> Your company is bleeding. The tariff just hit. Your board wants answers. You have 48 hours.But sometimes the brutal truth is that the warning signs were there 20-years ago.In this episode, Marcel Melzer stops the scroll with his contrarian claim: strategic decisions should take 48 hours, not months. His “decision as a service” model combines strategic foresight with AI-augmented decision intelligence—delivering what traditional consulting takes 8 weeks to produce, in 2 days. The magic? It’s not about perfect information. It’s about deciding at 80% confidence while your competitors are still scheduling meetings. We deconstruct a fictional case live, revealing why companies confuse firefighting with strategy, why past non-decisions create present disasters, and why the future belongs to leaders who can decide fast under uncertainty. Jamaica just got hurricane-smashed—we need this yesterday.

Strategic Fluency - Frameworks or Stories?

Transcript00:00:01Stop me if you’ve been in Bob’s position. Every strategist learns the frameworks. Porto five forces, blue ocean strategy, and SWAT analysis. And we assume great strategy comes from great frameworks. So how Schultz of Starbucks fame, he knew all of the frameworks, but he didn’t transform Starbucks or any of them. In 1983, Schulz visited Milan. He walked into an express bar. He saw the ritual, the community, the third place between home and work. And that experience became a story. That story became his northstar.00:00:34That story created a hundred billion dollar plus company. Not a framework, a story. But here’s where most strategists get stuck. Baba spent hours preparing for the strategy retreat. He had the perfect framework from his MBA and he was excited because he was going to nail it by explaining this framework. As the conversation progressed, some doubts crept in, but he prepared for hours. So when the moment came he jumped in and as he explained his framework eyes glazed over. So he tried to speed up00:01:07that made it worse. Phones came out people started to read and his boss gave him a dark look that was kind of like a cut it out and Bob gave up. But moments later another colleague jumped in. And in that case, she told a story. And Bob suddenly realized she was explaining the same concept that he just tried to describe using a framework. But this time, the heads were nodding. There were some new insights that were emerging as people built on her initial story. There was some buying happening. She was accomplishing the result. And he00:01:42thought to himself, why didn’t I try that? Well, here’s what he discovered and what Howard Schultz knew all along. that we’ve been taught that strategic thinking is about mastering frameworks. They give us the illusion of sophistication. But here’s the truth that plays out in every boardroom and every strategy retreat and every presentation given by consultants that there’s a big difference between strategic thinking and strategic fluency. Strategic thinking is all about those frameworks00:02:09that you learned in MBA school, ones I mentioned before. Strategic fluency teaches you stories. So when JFK committed America to go to the moon, he didn’t pull out the Gad chart. He didn’t tell a framework. Instead, he went to the future and told a story about the future. So the best strategists actually aren’t searching for which framework applies in which situation. Instead, they’re reaching out for their curated collection of signature stories. So how do you avoid that awkward moment Bob00:02:38found himself in? I recommend that you prepare three signature stories. One transformational stories like the one about Schulz in Milan. One about the future like Kennedy’s moonshot. And one story about strategic choice. That’s three stories. Good news is that Strat Cinema helps you to find your three. This is a public episode.

Ep 33 - From Laundry-list, Wishlist or Checklist to a Game-Changing Strategy

Picture two teams in your company, six months apart.The first team is drowning. They have 47 “strategic initiatives” on their list, no clear way to prioritize, and every meeting devolves into debates about resources. Morale is terrible, and nobody can articulate what they’re really trying to accomplish.Fast forward six months: the same team, but now they’re energized, focused, and can explain their strategy in three minutes. Projects that don’t serve their core hypothesis get killed quickly. They’re making contingency plans because they understand their strategy is a bet, not a certainty.What happened in between?They stopped confusing a strategic plan with actual strategy. Today, I want to walk you through that transformation, because the gap between these two states isn’t about working harder—it’s about thinking differently.Tune into this episode to join me in tackling this wicked problem.I’m Francis Wade and welcome to the JumpLeap Long-Term Strategy PodcastHere is a video of the full episode. <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/VCfzKI-pFtI">You can also follow the podcast on YouTube.</a>Show NotesNotebookLM link<a target="_blank" href="https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/6e0f6686-25ff-44b8-a629-54df92dbef7c?authuser=1">https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/6e0f6686-25ff-44b8-a629-54df92dbef7c?authuser=1</a>Link to Fictional Credit Union Case<a target="_blank" href="https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/33364888-4e5a-4738-80d1-24f2c42c66cd?authuser=1">https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/33364888-4e5a-4738-80d1-24f2c42c66cd?authuser=1</a>Roger Martin’s Video This is a public episode.
