Although the materials of scaling aren’t included, it would seem that PBD links team, processes, internal and external competitiveness, branding and marketing together to create a golden thread of what scaling actually means.įinally in move 5, PBD outlines a list of strategic power plays that may help when things aren’t going well, and conversely what to do when things are going well In move 4, PBD mentions that if you want to be strategic – you need to think long term, that your business needs to work without you, that to move from the solo-business to the micro to the macro business you’re going to need to scale. You’re going to need a team, and the more strategic thinker will ask what the make-up of the team will be, how do you attract and keep talent beyond simple financial compensation models. In move 3, PBD reiterates the idea you can’t get to the top of the mountain by yourself. One tool PBD advocates using when making strategic decisional making is a Solve for X worksheet (which is included in the book) where he advocates his employees and himself to use to evaluate the real underpinning cause, and align this with urgency, people needed, the available solutions, to list possible negative outcomes and what new protocols can be birthed. PBD also offers the idea that in meetings, using stoic thoughts or analysing what is being said all be parts of the plays one makes to ensure high emotion can be avoided. Post introspective ideas, later chapters talk about the reasoning and sense making when making decisions, one of the ideas PBD offers is that of an Investment Time Return (ITR) formula that he encourages his team to embrace in every deal, or opportunity. Introspective activities include a Personality Audit, and a challenge to use the Five Whys to keep asking why until a purpose is revealed. Told through a prism of stories, Your Next Five Moves, frames the five moves through PBD’s personal storytelling of his personal journey with success, failures and what he learnt from it and links it to one of the five moves.Īs such, the book is part-auto biography, part-business thinking and part-advocacy, and frames ideas of introspection, goal setting, the ability of removing emotion when approaching difficult conversations and using strategy to position outcomes to your favour through negotiation and offering something in return.įrom the outset, the book starts from the position you must get clarity of who you are, where you are at, where you want to be, who you want to be, and what are you willing to do to get there. Like the game Chess, PBD argues, the top players in the field of business and use clarity, strategy, tactics, insight, experience to frame the opportunity, risk, investment and payoff mixing foresight and hindsight, data, analytics and ideas into strategic plays. His 2020 hardcover book “Your Five Next Moves: Master the Art of Business Strategy” is about 280 pages and covers the idea that a majority of today’s most successful business leaders and organisations are successful because of their ability to look ahead, to see what is in front of them, to see the plays coming up and behind able to react, to outstrategise or out-think the competition where it counts.
