PDF Free Articles CD Resource Kits

Some of these articles have been published in leading business magazines, but many are unique to this site. The articles are available for free and you are welcome to reproduce any or all of these articles for your own use. However, permission is required if you want to make multiple copies (say, to include in a training course or conference notes). At all times, Neville Lake must be identified as the author, and a reference to The Lake Group website must be clearly visible.

Since this website was started in 1998 many people have asked for additional material to take the concepts described in the articles one step further. The full resource kits are the most comprehensive way to learn more about strategic retreats and strategic planning. However, for a number of articles specific resource kits have been created to show you how to get the greatest value out of the ideas, and detailed practical implementation steps are provided.
