Outrageous amounts of time and ceremony on strategic decks, plans & roadmaps in support of a future state/vision that now never seems to last longer than a few months. Why?

have you not noticed that 99% of the bs "strategy" in fancy decks never get brought up again? welcome to corporate america where its always bait and switch, the purpose of the decks is like a snakeoil salesman, to make you hyped on something that you pay him for that he'll never deliver on. because after he promises you what he said in the deck, he's long gone when its time to collect. in nike's case they use decks to get promoted or transferred to a lateral role, so next year's cfe he says he's no longer responsible for old sh!t
Because Nike prioritizes style over substance. Flash over competence.
How else consultants make money and VPs build empires
All strategy no implementation. Typical consulting
Because everyone’s trying to selling the dream but very little are capable of serving the nightmare.
