Walter Keichel’s book ‘Lords of Strategy’ delves into the ‘secret intellectual history of the new corporate world’. Fifty years ago, strategy was not a matter of mainstream enactment but in the 1960′s the corporate world was turned upside down by cutting edge business consultants: Bruce Henderson, founder of Boston Consulting Group, Bill Bain, creator of Bain & Company, Fred Gluck, Managing Director of McKinsey & Company and Michael Porter, Harvard Business School professor. These men transformed the way we look at business and the way business and finance are taught in universities all over the world. The element of strategy that is now so pervasive globally had to evolve from conceptual to theoretical to template tactic to exercisable and strategic.
