Strategy. An adaptable plan that coordinates actions to achieve a goal, in an uncertain world filled with rival interests.

• Understand the situation
• Provide a continuing stream of options
• Help evaluate the options with a framework
• Enable rapid switching between options

Good strategies have multiple plans operating at the same time. Reinforce the plans that succeed and cut off the ones that don’t.

Visions are indispensable but dangerous to the extent that we confuse them with reality itself. So be prepared to change your vision of the future.
