I’m a simple fellow and want to know when the major players will start to focus on serious investment and job creation strategies?

If politicians don’t start paying more attention to solving chronic economic challenges, then I fear that the politicians will face increasing challenge from both the hard-left and the hard-right of the political spectrum. Of course, there’s a different prevailing view in Germany – in Germany there’s a simple belief that what’s good for Germany must be good for Europe.

Like McKinsey, I’m a passionate believer that effective focus on strategy is paramount. It’s on delivery of strategy that things get a bit fkaky. Believe me, I know having been a specialist in delivering strategic change in different industries.

It seems that chief executives will no longer need to rely on an army of contractors and consultants charging GBP 5,000 a day to deliver their strategy, they will be able to increasingly turn to machine learning. On a related theme, I have recently predicted the demise of the traditional project manager.
