My strategy is to laugh
My job title for 39 months before coming to Columbia was "strategy consultant." I never got better than a B+ in a management class at Wharton, despite graduating with Latin honors. And at Columbia, I can't manage to break the mean on a strategy exam that covered an industry in which I did high-level corporate strategy for two years on four projects here and in Asia. No consultant worth his salt would ever go to a client saying, "I've performed a Porter's Five Forces analysis" on your industry, as the answer key suggests. I just have to laugh.
