Notes from the Virtual Desktop Strategist

To be an above average strategist, we suggested the following learning points to our audience:

• Realize the importance of competition;
• Understand the fundamentals of intelligence gathering;
• Recognize the various degrees of deception through the competition's use of orthodox and unorthodox tactics; and
• Understand the connective "top down" aspect of the big picture through the use of the Seven Military Classics (Strategy Classics) principles.

Understanding the grand picture from a top down view will enable you to connect the dots and reap the rewards.

Good luck!
