One of the best things strategy-wise to come out of the last couple of years is the 30-minute University of Planning which was the brainchild of Dr. Gordon Euchler.
The university does 2 things..1- Connects mentors to mentorees 2. Organizes talks/learning sessions. This platform has allowed strategists from all over the world to learn for mentors and for mentors to learn from the mentorees.
We are in a world where in-house training and mentoring are hard to come by- not that this is a replacement, but it's a nice addition.
In this podcast, I talk to Gordon about his career trajectory, the challenges of strategy in Germany, learning from John Lowery, the origins of 30 Minute University, where it is headed, working at Deloitte with the opportunity to make ideas real businesses and Shakespeare.
