Research

Prepared and Resolved, Daniel Wolf's 2007 book on the strategic agenda, has been adopted by corporate, middle-market and nonprofit organizations to help set the stage for business transformation. It provides the framework for contemporary strategic management and leadership at every level.

Based on break-out ideas from Wolf's approach to the strategic agenda, we have several research programs under way for 2009-2010 that address the following:

Strategic Collaboration
Developing the Strategic Agenda for Business Growth
Capacity-Building and Development in Nonprofit Organizations
Connecting Research and Planning for Innovation
Connecting Management and the Board on Strategy
Category Management - Customers, Brands and Channels

These research programs link our work at Dewar Sloan with some of the best thinking in corporations, nonprofit organizations, academic foundations and conference groups on strategic leadership and management.

Our research is summarized and presented as white papers that are available in PDF format. These papers are accessible using Adobe Reader versions 7.0 and later. To download a free version of the latest release of Adobe Reader, please click here.

As our research is continually in process, we update our publications regularly. Please check our site frequently for new postings.
