Are you just playingor playing to win? Strategy is not complex. But it is hard. It’s hard because it forces people and organizations to make specific choices about their futuresomething that doesn’t happen in most companies. Now two of today’s best-known business thinkers get to the heart of strategyexplaining what it’s for, how to think about it, why you need it, and how to get it done. And they use one of the most successful corporate turnarounds of the past century, which they achieved together, to prove their point. A.G. Lafley, former CEO of Procter &amp; Gamble, in close partnership with strategic adviser Roger Martin, doubled P&amp;G’s sales, quadrupled its profits, and increased its market value by more than $100 billion in just ten years. Now, drawn from their years of experience at P&amp;G and the Rotman School of Management, where Martin is dean, this book shows how leaders in organizations of all sizes can guide everyday actions with larger strategic goals built around the clear, essential elements that determine business successwhere to play and how to win. The result is a playbook for winning. Lafley and Martin have created a set of five essential strategic choices that, when addressed in an integrated way, will move you ahead of your competitors. They are: What is our winning aspiration? Where will we play? How will we win? What capabilities must we have in place to win? What management systems are required to support our choices? The stories of how P&amp;G repeatedly won by applying this method to iconic brands such as Olay, Bounty, Gillette, Swiffer, and Febreze clearly illustrate how deciding on a strategic approachand then making the right choices to support itmakes the difference between just playing the game and actually winning.

Product Description Jugar para ganar, un destacado best seller en The Wall Street Journal y The Washington Post, describe el enfoque estratégico que A. G. Lafley, en colaboración con el asesor estratégico Roger L. Martin, utilizó para duplicar las ventas de P&G, cuadruplicar sus ganancias y aumentar su valor de mercado en más de cien mil millones de dólares siendo el CEO de la compañía entre los años 2000 y 2009. El libro muestra a los líderes cualquier tipo de organización cómo dirigir las acciones cotidianas con objetivos estratégicos más amplios construidos alrededor de los elementos esenciales que determinan el éxito de todo negocio: dónde jugar y cómo ganar. Lafley y Martin han creado un conjunto de cinco opciones estratégicas esenciales que, cuando se abordan de manera integrada, nos llevan a adelantar a nuestros competidores: 1. ¿Cuál es nuestra aspiración ganadora? 2. ¿Dónde jugaremos? 3. ¿Cómo vamos a ganar? 4. ¿Qué capacidades debemos tener para ganar? 5. ¿Qué sistemas de gestión se requieren para respaldar nuestras elecciones? El relato de cómo P&G ganó repetidamente con este método a marcas icónicas como Olay, Bounty o Gillette ilustra con claridad hasta qué punto decidir una estrategia y tomar las decisiones correctas para apoyarla marca la diferencia entre jugar y ganar.

Fortune lo considera «uno de los CEO más importantes de la historia de Estados Unidos».
