📞📨 Get in touch with our team: https://cy7qux.short.gy/yt-iwp-eng Is your company executing a well-thought-out strategy or simply following a “management wish list”? In the latest episode of Euvic Talks, Bartek Śliwa sits down with Michał Kanarkiewicz, a strategic advisor, keynote speaker, and chess player who has spent nearly a decade helping international corporations build and sustain competitive advantage. In this episode, you'll discover how principles from the royal game of chess translate into managing a modern business. We debunk common myths surrounding mission and vision statements, define the so-called execution gap, and explain why strategy without tactics is merely the slowest path to victory. Michał also shares how chess teaches decision-making under time pressure, what business gambits really are, and how to plan for multiple scenarios in a world full of black swans. Finally, we explore a topic that is becoming increasingly important: why, in the age of AI, genuine and meaningful conversations with other people may be the most valuable asset in business. 00:00 – Introduction: The Risks of Operating Without a Strategy 00:34 – Who Is Michał Kanarkiewicz? 12:06 – What Makes a Good Strategy?
