➕LEVEL UP YOUR STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP ➟ I share proven systems, actionable tips, and lessons from 20+ years of helping CEOs make better strategy ➕STRATEGY ADVISOR TO CEOs + THEIR TEAMS ➟ Learn more in my ABOUT section👇

I help CEOs, leadership teams, and boards design and execute real strategy—the kind that drives alignment, action, and results.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with CEOs, boards, and senior leadership teams at global organizations like BMW, Deloitte, DeBeers, the OECD, as well as high-growth mid-market companies to move beyond strategic planning theater and into practical, co-created strategies that leaders can actually lead through.

Through my Better Strategy OS™ and frameworks like the Strategy Launchpad™ and the Strategy Canvas Collection, I guide organizations to:

✅ Create strategy that’s clear, actionable, and co-owned by the team
✅ Build strategic thinking as a core leadership capability
✅ Move from confusion to confidence—without outsourcing their future

But I don’t just facilitate strategy—I also help you learn it.

I offer courses, tools, and executive education programs for leaders, consultants, and professionals who want to master the Better Strategy OS, learn to think more strategically, and guide others through the process.

Whether you’re leading a team, or a strategist building your own expertise—this is where you learn to make strategy real.

What I’m known for:

– Making complex strategy simple and executable
– Facilitating alignment and unlocking clarity
– Rigorous, structured, yet pragmatic approach 
– Author of The Art of Opportunity (Wiley)

90% of strategies fail.
Not because of execution.
Because they were never good strategy to begin with.

Every year, leadership teams spend months building decks, setting targets, and holding offsites.

Six months later?
Those slides collect dust while everyone goes back to firefighting.

That’s not strategy. That’s theatre.

If you want better results, you don’t need more strategy.
You need Better Strategy — built on 7 essential shifts 👇


1️⃣ From financial targets → to strategic challenges
Numbers are outcomes, not strategy.
Better strategy starts with answering: What’s the real problem we must solve?


2️⃣ From 3–5 year plans → to 12–18 month priorities
Long-term plans create comfort, not clarity.
Better strategy focuses on what moves the needle now — while shaping the future.


3️⃣ From copying competitors → to creating advantage
Best practices make you average.
Better strategy puts innovation back where it belongs — at the core.


4️⃣ From annual offsites → to always-on strategy
Strategy shouldn’t happen once a year at a resort.
It’s a continuous practice of learning, sensing, and adapting — every week.


5️⃣ From closed boardrooms → to open collaboration
The best strategies aren’t designed in isolation.
They’re co-created with the people who make them real.


6️⃣ From PowerPoint → to real conversations
Strategy isn’t a document; it’s a dialogue.
Leaders who talk about strategy daily create alignment and momentum.


7️⃣ From consultants → to ownership
Advisors can guide, but they can’t lead for you.
The real power lies in taking responsibility for your own strategy.


Better strategy isn’t about perfection.
It’s about progress, clarity, and courage.

Strategy isn’t a plan — it’s a practice.
The question is: are you doing it once a year, or every day?

Let’s make better strategy.
Every day. Everywhere. Together.

What’s a good strategy to learn about strategy?

Most people still learn strategy as if it were a formula.

Follow the steps.
Memorize the models.
Apply the tools.

That’s not strategy.
That’s administration.

In most strategy courses and textbooks,
you’ll find the same pattern repeated:

❌ A single, accepted view of what strategy “is.”
❌ A linear, step-by-step process to follow.
❌ Simplified, reworded ideas from past thinkers.
❌ And a strong bias toward one national or business context.

It’s clean.
It’s structured.

But it kills independent strategic thought.

Strategy isn’t a discipline of answers.
It’s a discipline of questions.

At the Better Strategy School, we don’t teach strategy like that.

We explore 11 types of strategic issues,
their underlying paradoxes, and
the multiple perspectives that exist to resolve them:

(1) How do we strategize?
(2) What’s our mission and vision?
(3) How do we compete at the business level?
(4) How do we create value at the corporate level?
(5) How do we collaborate and compete across networks?
(6) How is strategy formed and realized?
(7) How do we lead strategic change?
(8) How do we drive strategic innovation?
(9) How do industries evolve and shape our choices?
(10) How do we develop our organization?
(11) How does the international context influence our strategy?

Each of these issues invites opposing perspectives — markets vs. resources, control vs. chaos, globalization vs. localization — forcing leaders to think beyond one “right” answer.

Because strategy isn’t about memorizing frameworks.
It’s about learning to think across them.

I’ve spent 20+ years studying and answering three questions:


❓What is strategy?
❓How do you design a good strategy?
❓How do you execute a good strategy?

The key lesson I learned is this:
✅ Good strategists know there are no easy answers.


❌ There’s no silver bullet.
❌ No single framework.
❌ No “5 easy steps” that will magically give you your strategy.

Strategy is inherently complex.

To do it well, you must:
🔹 Understand all its dimensions:
Purpose: Why you exist and where you’re going.
Content: The choices that make you unique.
Process: How strategy gets created and renewed.
Context: The environment that shapes every decision.

🔹 Synthesize its paradoxes:
Profit ⬌ Purpose
Logic ⬌ Intuition
Outside-in ⬌ Inside-out
Competition ⬌ Cooperation
Deliberate ⬌ Emergent
Revolution ⬌ Evolution
Exploitation ⬌ Exploration
Globalization ⬌ Localization
and many more…

Mastering strategy is about holding these tensions, paradoxes, and perspectives together—not oversimplifying them.

500+ leaders. One shared goal:
To make better strategy — not longer slide decks.

Most strategy efforts fail not because leaders don’t care —
but because they lack a clear definition, a structured framework, and a systematic process for making strategy work.

They’re told to “think strategically.”
But not how to do it.
They’re handed playbooks that explain what strategy is.
But not how to build and execute one in the real world.

That’s why so many strategies stay stuck in PowerPoints instead of changing organizations.

At the Better Strategy School, we’ve now passed 500 participants.

Leaders, founders, consultants, and executives who decided they don’t want to just plan, they want to lead strategy that delivers results.

But this milestone isn’t about numbers.
It’s about impact.

Here’s what that looks like in practice 👇

🧩 Stefania Mangini, CFO & Board Member, O’Neill:
“Valuable insights from real case studies. Helpful framework, easy to use when having strategy discussions and to ask the right questions at board meetings.”

🧠 Tylney Taylor, Managing Director, Bold Transformations:
“Marc brings in unique and highly valuable insights that add to the robust framework he has developed.”

🚀 Lisa Rehm, Associate Director PMO, Nice-Pak Products:
“Marc’s Better Strategy Masterclass takes this work to an entirely new level.”

💡 Semih Görür, CEO, Tuna Aluminium:
“The sessions provided practical applications directly relevant to today’s business challenges. Marc makes complex concepts easy to understand and apply.”

If you want to design and execute winning strategies — not just talk about them —
you need three things:

1️⃣ A clear definition of what strategy really is.
2️⃣ A structured framework to align thinking and teams.
3️⃣ A systematic process that connects design with execution.

That’s the foundation of Better Strategy — and what every leader deserves to master.
