The kernel of good strategy

===========================

 

1. A **diagnosis**: an explanation of the nature of the challenge. A good diagnosis simplifies the often overwhelming complexity of reality by identifying certain aspects of the situation as being the critical ones.

2. A **guiding policy**: an overall approach chosen to cope with or overcome the obstacles identified in the diagnosis.

3. **Coherent actions**: steps that are coordinated with one another to support the accomplishment of the guiding policy.
