Khudania Ajay, the interviewer starts by asking Marc about his view on strategy and how it is different from planning. Marc explains that many companies say they have a strategy, but it is actually just a plan, and they don't achieve their goals. A strategy, he says, is about focusing on the challenges that are keeping a company from reaching its ambitions and finding opportunities to overcome those challenges. He emphasizes that copying competitors' strategies is not the way to go, and that innovation needs to be put back into strategy. Marc also talks about the history of strategy, how it used to be about planning for the next few years, but now with disruptions and challenges like COVID and inflation, strategy needs to focus on the challenges faced in the next 12 months. Marc also shares his thoughts on consultants and how they often create lengthy PowerPoint documents that no one reads or finds useful.
