Relentless

It is not something that just purely intuitive, but typically requires analysis techniques, thinking both inside-out and outside-in, and asking learning SWOT questions after every strategic experimentation

 

 

 

Options

Invariably there are many options, not merely for what you could do, but also for how you might do it

 

 

 

 

Action

Strategic thinking does mean thinking in concrete terms of the actions that will be needed by whom and by when

 

 

 

Advantage

Strategic thinking is continuously focused on getting a lot out of the minimum and building a strategic competitive advantage

 

 

 

 

Implementable

Strategic thinking must help achieve strategic goals and turn the very difficult into the easier and into the feasible of the way

 

 

 

Cunning Plan
