Me : Yes. If you need to define this as a strategy just call it the "not continuously punching ourselves in the face ... hard" strategy
Me : In business? No. The first rule generally seems to be to ignore doctrine (i.e. principles) and the issue of situational awareness and instead dive into re-organisation, cultue programs and highly intoxicated ideas of strategy.
Me : Re-organising the deckchairs whilst writing half mumbled gibberish after several glasses of wine ... it all depends upon whether your competitors are doing the same. So, mostly you can get away with it. Not where I'd start but ... horses for courses.
Me : Looks, it's fine to be hopeless at this stuff as long as your competitors are. It's ok if the horse is pointing the wrong way, has a leg missing or is dead as long all the other horses are the same.
Me : In law, a principle is a rule that is usually followed. Doctrine is simply the collection of such principles.
X : What about values?
Me : They are different. Values are about beliefs. Unfortunately ...
Me : Groups you belong to ... family, church, nation, football club, company etc. They all influence us in the same way we influence them.
X : Memory?
Me : Rituals, symbols and heroes support our values / our beliefs. The values make you, not the story.
Me : It's an imperfect way of visualising the concept of culture. It's a representation and not the territory itself. A problem with culture is language is part of it and therefore a model of culture can never be effectively described with language alone.
