“…For example, drawing on both SAP and routine dynamics, Grand and Bartl (2019) explain how the dynamics of strategizing routines shape strategic outcomes. Such studies demonstrate the potential for cross-fertilization, in which those phenomena we identify as routine practices may also extend knowledge of strategy practices (Grossman-Hensel, Seidl, & Jarzabkowski, forthcoming). As confidence in the practice lens underpinning the reinvigorated view of SAP grows, practice theorizing in the wider area of management and organization theory may further illuminate those phenomena that we study and the practices that we label as strategy.…”

In this essay we revisit the radical agenda proposed by strategy-as-practice scholars to study strategy as it emerges within people’s practices. We show that, while much progress has been made, there is still a dominant focus on articulated strategies, which has implications for what is seen as strategic. We anchor our argument in the notion of consequentiality – a guiding yet, ironically, constraining principle of the strategy-as-practice agenda. Our paper proposes a deeper understanding of the notion of strategy as ‘consequential’ in terms of both what is important to a wider range of actors and also following the consequences of these actors’ practices through the patterns of action that they construct. In doing so, we offer a conceptual and an empirical approach to reinvigorating the strategy-as-practice agenda by inviting scholars to take a more active role in field sites, in deciding and explaining what practices are strategic.
