Self Education challenge : Strategy
Those who know me must have an idea about my educational background:
- Master degree in computer engineering, focusing on information system architecture
- Master in Business Consulting, which mainly focused on corporate strategy
In my daily work, I am involved in business consulting, solution and technical architecture and SOA (from strategy to implementation).
During the last week, I have just bought myself a new challenge. I have always been highly interested in both IS and strategy and even more at the joint field between the two areas. Hence I decided to go further onto studying strategy and starting with the roots.
For this purpose, I have gathered a series of books which I will read in the next couple of months, at the rythm of one book per week.
Here is the current selection (titles are mainly in french):
- Stratégie by Alain Desreumaux
- Le pilotage stratégique de l’entreprise by M.J Avenier
- L’audit de la stratégie by C. Sicard
- Grandeur et décadence de la planification stratégique by H. Mintzberg
- Le management stratégique by M. Weill
- Le manager stratège by C. Sicard
- Strategor (politique générale de l’entreprise)
- Diagnostic et décisions stratégiques by T. Atamer & R. Calori
- Two harvard issues grouping a series of articles on strategy published on the Harvard Business Review
As I read each of these books, I will have an article posted in order to give you a feedback with the main and interesting points and what it lacks covering. At the end, I will write an essay on strategy and how it could be powered by the potential of the information system in order to create a harmonized approach to drive the enterprise growth.
