Prior to that he was head of Shell's internal strategy consulting group, assisting management teams worldwide in strategy development and implementation. He specializes in scenario planning, strategy development and institutional strategic management processes and has consulted widely in all these areas. The painting serves as an icon for the idea projected in the book strategy is about conversation, which takes place more in corridors than in boardrooms strategy, often treated as an abstract, is in the final analysis about people responding to the needs of other people the image is unconventional for a business book - the hallmark of any successful scenario/strategy project!
