THE BOOK
Survival of the Strategic Fittest
Strategic Fitness to Lead, Reinvent, and Build Your Next Growth Curve
By Lars Nordenlund · With a foreword by Jesper Balser, co-founder of Navision
The company-building standard for the Age of Intelligence. The book reframes strategic leadership as a continuous capability: the discipline to turn disruption into advantage and growth, keeping direction, decisions, capital, innovation and execution coherent at market speed.
WHY IT MATTERS
Strong companies lose momentum before the numbers show it.
Intelligence overload weakens conviction. Planning cycles lock in yesterday's assumptions. Innovation fragments into disconnected activity. The result is strategic drift and irrelevance.
