Welcome to Strategy in Brief, an exploration of the complex world of strategy. I have found one of the most effective ways of learning or mastering a subject is to prepare to teach it. Simultaneously, I intend to work on my writing and develop my voice. This site is a product of both processes.
My intent is to explore and share my findings on the following learning objectives:
- Identify and define major terms and concepts.
- Describe the history of the concept of strategy.
- Compare and contrast major thinkers and writers as well as their contributions.
- Create a methodology for identifying and describing a state’s (or business’s) strategy.
- Create a methodology for addressing strategic problems.
I have also started a podcast under the same name, StrategyinBrief. This podcast is for my personal use, but if a topic interests you then feel free to give it a listen. This is where I use an AI to create podcasts out of various reports on topics surrounding strategy, international relations, economics, and current events to develop a deeper understanding of those topics for my personal and professional education.
A note about me:
My profession necessitates I maintain a non-political stance in public. To fulfill that necessity, I have identified two courses of action: 1) attempt to remain anonymous or 2) avoid contemporary political discussion. I prefer not to be anonymous to avoid the impression I have anything to hide and for people to feel comfortable discussing topics with me, in particular my errors. Therefore, I am choosing to abstain from engaging in political discussions or addressing contemporary strategic issues. Any viewpoint that accidentally finds its way into an essay or onto the podcast is mine unless otherwise cited.
Once I retire the fight’s on.
