Dubai Business Book Club JULY Meet - PLAYING TO WIN

​Book Discussion - Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works

​Date & Time: Thursday, 16 July · 7:00 PM
Location: Society Restaurant, Jumeirah

​Event Description:

​Most "strategy" decks are just goals dressed up with slides. This month at the Dubai Business Book Club, we're reading the book that reframes the entire conversation.

​The book: Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works by A.G. Lafley & Roger Martin.

​Why this one? Lafley (former P&G CEO) and Martin distil strategy down to five simple, cascading choices:

• ​What's your winning aspiration?

• ​Where will you play?

• ​How will you win?

• ​What capabilities do you need?

• ​What management systems are required?

​It's the same framework that helped P&G double its revenue — still taught in business schools and used by Fortune 500 leaders today. If you've ever struggled to separate "things we're doing" from an actual strategy, this book gives you a clear way to think.

​For founders, operators, and anyone making resource-allocation calls, this is one of the most practical strategy books out there. No jargon, no fluff.

​Join us as we unpack the five-choice cascade and discuss how to apply it to our own businesses — and our professional lives.
