The Question of the Day

Q: For the hardcore strategic thinkers, do you know why the principles of Wu-tzu (Wuzi) the Art of War and the Six Secret Teachings are still relevant in the business of strategic analysis and planning?

Hints from the Compass Desk
From the Wuzi book, one learns the following:

• how to resolve complex tactical circumstances;
• how to evaluate the grand situation and the competition;
• how to achieve the goal with minimum amount of resources;
• how to implement grand organizational planning;
• how to manage the organization; 
• how to adjust to change;
• how to choose strategies;
• how to nurture one's leadership culture and virtue;
• how to establish one's leadership credibility; and 
• how to motivate "the ranks and files." 

From the Jiang Tai Gong's book, one learns how to view the Big Picture in terms of the civil fundamentals,  the competitive fundamentals, the leadership fundamentals, the tactical essentials and tactical specifics.

Compass View
Those who know, are able to process those concepts-related data into a grand view of tangible points.  

Regardless of the irrelevant message of the Art of War cult, there is more to the Chinese strategy game than The Art of War essay.
