Strategy, measured

What we learn from compressing strategy work from weeks into days. We publish our method and our numbers, and we say where we were wrong.

In short

strategy1 Insights publishes three formats on AI and strategy, written from India: the monthly strategy1 Review, which works one decision through with its evidence; the quarterly India Strategy Compression Report on how long strategy work takes against a written baseline; and long-form essays. Each cites its sources and publishes its method.

    Pods, not pyramids
