Strategy is a state, not a plan

A strategy is a vivid and pictorial idea of the future that can be told. A state for which people "burn" and which is used to achieve goals. Strategy is based on thinking in terms of alternative goal states, from which the most attractive one is selected to achieve the desired goals.

A=>B vs B=>A thinking

A=>B thinking is what we are used to doing: We deal with the status quo (state A), think about what we can do, change or improve, string these things (activities!) on the pearl string and call this the "strategic plan". Breakthrough strategies are created differently!

Successful strategies generate resistance

Today's success is tomorrow's failure! An attractive strategy that leads to a real competitive difference tomorrow paints a picture that is different from the status quo. Otherwise, it is only optimisation, with which you remain in mediocrity. If your strategy only meets with approval, you can be sure that it is no good.
