Would recommend if you are interesred in the history of the consulting industry - goes deep into how key players at Mckinsey industrialised strategy consulting. Only drawback is it presents a very Mckinsey centric view and an arrogant writing style.

Would recommend reading Lords of Strategy to complement this book / provide a broader industry view.

Today I won a raffle for an Omega SMP 300. To show my appreciation to the watch gods, I am letting my current diver, the legendary SKX009 go for the same price as my raffle ticket ($38, shipping included). If anyone is looking for this hugely popular piece (ideally a new collector), hit me up! Currently sized to a 6.75” wrist but comes with all links. All hail the watch gods!
