● Full disclosure of the secret toolbox.

The first skill required of strategic consultants is to acquire a consistent pattern for investigating facts, gathering information, analyzing data, drawing out suggestions from the data, and deriving strategic action. Mastering the 70 schemes in this book will enable you to solve most problems.
