Biography
Charles Moore is the CEO of Thrive Street Advisors and a trusted advisor and strategy consultant to nonprofit and for-profit leaders. He is an adjunct faculty member at the Georgetown Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership and has served on the boards Father’s Uplift, EdFuel, SchoolTalk, and Monument Academy. Charles holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Harvard and an MBA and master’s degree in Education from Stanford.
Good strategy for uncertain environments, I’ve always suspected, should be more “search algorithm” than “itinerary.” In this book, Charles provides a compelling plan for organizing around that principle, full of hard-won wisdom on how to rally your team to make it happen.

As much as we might want a strategy to be “done” and crossed off our to-do lists, it must constantly evolve to deliver value. This book offers an insightful framework for elevating your organization’s approach to strategy and keeping it relevant.
