In our recent research, we found that leading LLMs have clear biases when it comes to strategy. They consistently recommend strategies that align with modern managerial buzzwords and trends rather than context-specific strategic logic. Across thousands of simulations, we saw LLMs almost uniformly select the same trendy strategies, regardless of context. We call the propensity for AI to opt for buzzy ideas over reasoned solutions “trendslop.” In the context of strategic analysis, we call this phenomenon, “strategy trendslop.”
