It is often said that there is nothing so practical as a good theory. In a sense strategy is a theory until implementation. This is where the learning process and excitement of operations management is greatest. Iterating between strategy - implementation - learning is the fundamental development path for an organisation. This is where new knowledge and insight occurs.
