- Synopsis
- "What I Didn't Learn in Business School" is a fictional account that follows new consultant Justin Campbell as he joins an elite team hired by a chemical firm to assess the potential of a newly developed technology. Consulting, as many recent MBA graduates learn, is more than analyzing data and cracking cases. In this chapter, Justin learns some important lessons about working with different personalities, developing plans for client interviews that yield revealing results, and weighing risk and reward to manage audacious goals. Authors Jay Barney and Trish Gorman Clifford demonstrate through Justin's struggles that in the real world, strategy development does not happen by analysis alone--it requires listening, sharing, and asking the tough, insightful questions that will help you grasp organizational complexities and determine the best course of action given the circumstances. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 7 of "What I Didn't Learn in Business School: How Strategy Works in the Real World."
