About this listen

7 Powers breaks fresh ground by constructing a comprehensive strategy toolset that is easy for you to learn, communicate, and quickly apply. Drawing on his decades of experience as a business strategy adviser, active equity investor and Stanford University teacher Hamilton Helmer develops from first principles a practical theory of strategy rooted in the notion of power, those conditions which create the potential for persistent differential returns.

Using rich real-world examples, Helmer rigorously characterizes exactly what your business must achieve to create power. And create power it must, for without it your business is at risk. He explains why invention always comes first and then develops the Power Progression to enable you to target when your power must be established: in the origination, take-off, or stability phases of your business. Every business faces a do-or-die strategy moment: a crux directional choice made amidst swirling uncertainty. To get this right you need at your fingertips a real-time strategy compass to discern your true north. 7 Powers is that compass.

This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Had to listen to this twice to really understand the concepts. Impossible to follow without the pdf notes.

Excellent strategy book heavy on math

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Too mathematical. Might be better in paperback as formulae difficult on audiobook. Generally helpful though

Too many formulae

Well written and a great structure! The writer is clearly a professional. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about business strategy and creating moats against competition.

Good book, but it doesn’t work well on an audio book format due to many formulas and illustrations

I'm sure this is a great book...but when it's being read to you, it feels like at least half the time is spent trying to explain the shape of graphs you can't see, or tediously reading out all the symbols of equations.

Yes there's a supplemental pdf, but if you can only use the.audiobook when you're sat down with a pdf...you might as well just buy the book.

It just doesn't work as an audiobook

There are lots of math equations in this and it’s quite technical. This simply doesn’t work in this audio format. There is a PDF with the math equations in it but how can you look at this while driving
