Planning is old.Strategy is new.Strategy and planning is not the same.People plan and do a lot of work but without a strategy they fail.

Most strategic planning has nothing to do with strategy.

An integrative set of choices that position you on a playing field of your choice in a way that you win.Strategy has a theory not a proof.A strategic theory must be coherent and doable.Planning has no coherence to it. Its a list of what departments want with no internal coherence and company goal as a collective.

So what is a strategy?

Plans are quite comforting, It's about the resources you are going to spend. It's on the cost side of businesses.Who controls your cost? You control the cost, You are the customer! It's comfortable because you control them.

Why do leaders so often focus on planning?

The tricky thing about planning is that while you're planning, chances are at least one competitor is figuring out how to win.

A strategy specifies an outcome you wish to achieve, like attracting customers to buy your product, enough of it to give you a profit.But you don't control the customers. They decide, not you and that's a harder trick to allure them.This is where you put yourself out and say what you belive will happen and wait for reality to kick in.

Startegy will have angst associated with it. It'll make you somewhat nervous.You can't prove in advance that your strategy will succeed.Accept the fact that you can't know for sure.Lay out the logic of your strategy clearly. Keep it short - ideally 1 page, do not complicate.

How do I avoid the "planning trap"? 

What would have to be true about ourselves, about industry, about competition, about customers for this strategy to work?Why do you do that? It's because you can then watch the world unfold.

And if something you say is in the logic that would have to be true for it to work is not working out quite the way you hopeed.Then tweak it, what you want is a mechanism of tweaking it, toning it, and refining it so it gets better and better as you go along.

Strategy is a journey.

<ol><li>here's where we're choosing to play.</li><li>here's how we're choosing to win.</li><li>here the capabilities we need to have in place.</li><li>here are the management systems.</li></ol>And that's why it's going to achieve its goals, this aspiration that we have.Then you lay out the logic, what must be true for that all to work out the way we hope.Go do it, and watch and tweak as you go along.

I have been in the rut of planning after winning with strategy earlier, it takes real mental clarity, It's a wonderul resource. Thank you!

A comprehensive plan—with goals, initiatives, and budgets–is comforting. But starting with a plan is a terrible way to make strategy. Roger Martin, former dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and one of the world’s leading thinkers on strategy, says developing strategy means going outside an organization’s comfort zone and escaping the common traps of strategic planning. 00:00 Most strategic planning has nothing to do with strategy. 01:00 So what is a strategy? 02:08 Why do leaders so often focus on planning? 04:05 Let's see a real-world example of strategy beating planning. 06:33 How do I avoid the "planning trap"?

A Plan Is Not a Strategy

“Ponder and deliberate before you make a move.”

It's a book of conflict knowledge and tactics revolving around several key concepts, including:<ul><li>Knowing when to fight and when not to fight.</li><li>Knowing how to mislead the enemy.</li><li>Knowing oneself and one's enemy.</li></ul>

Summary

If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”

<ul><li>Strike a balance between confusing the enemy and teaching troops to obey seemingly futile commands.</li><li>Arrive on the battlefield early and organized.</li><li>Actions should be clear and coordinated.</li></ul>

Maneuvering

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

<ul><li>The Moral Law- causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger</li><li>Heaven- signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons.</li><li>Earth- comprises distances, great and small; danger and security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and death.</li><li>The Commander-  stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness.</li><li>Method and discipline</li></ul>

5 Essential Elements of War

<ul><li>Physical terrain and psychological terrain are equally important.</li><li>Poor leadership cannot make up for well-trained troops; well-trained troops cannot make up for poor leadership.</li></ul>

Terrain

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

<ul><li>The leader has full awareness of themself, troops, and the opposition.</li><li>The leader knows how to use small or large forces.</li><li>The leader knows how to unify the ranks with a common purpose.</li><li>The leader knows how to be patient while the opposition is impatient.</li><li>The leader's authority does not cloud judgment.</li></ul>

5 Essentials for Victory:

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

<ul><li>Recklessness, which leads to destruction;</li><li>cowardice, which leads to capture;</li><li>a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults;</li><li>a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame;</li><li>over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.</li></ul>

5 Dangerous Faults which may Affect a General:

“Deep knowledge is to be aware of disturbance before disturbance, to be aware of danger before danger, to be aware of destruction before destruction, to be aware of calamity before calamity. Strong action is training the body without being burdened by the body, exercising the mind without being used by the mind, working in the world without being affected by the world, carrying out tasks without being obstructed by tasks.”

The Art of War is not really about war per se but about how to be wise when it comes to our  daily life battles.

The Art of War is an enduring classic that holds a special place in the culture and history of East Asia. An ancient Chinese text on the philosophy and politics of warfare and military strategy, the treatise was written in 6th century B.C. by a warrior-philosopher now famous all over the world as Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu's teachings remain as relevant to leaders and strategists today as they were to rulers and military generals in ancient times. Divided into thirteen chapters and written succinctly, The Art of War is a must-read for anybody who works in a competitive environment.

The Art of War

Bungle In The Jungle

One among the rainbow herbicides, named because of the orange label around the container. In those times, the Monsato company made this deadly chemical.The liquid once sprayed doesn't gets washed out even after yrs due to its consequent oil texture. It contains the TCDD dioxin one among the dangerous 400 herbicide category.

Agent Orange
