Today is Albert Einstein birthday. He would have been 138.
So how does Albert Einstein fits into the Big Tangible Picture (BTP) of strategy?
His "Big Picture Thinking" in the area of theoretical physics lead to the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). It also lead to a Nobel Prize
Interestingly, many of his ideas started with something small. It then slowly evolve into something big by experimenting it in the many specific realms of life. Like most great thinkers, Einstein was seeking that absolute "game-changer" idea that could positively explain the ultra specifics of life that affect our lives.
Connecting to a Similar Situation
To create or innovate a new idea, one starts with a base idea and slowly evolve it by connecting it to another similar idea that operates in a similar terrain.

This approach is similar to how Tesla operated.
“My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain.” - Tesla
You do think like that. ... Do you?
Final Thoughts
Regardless of the realm, good strategy is about comprehending the connectivity of the tactical particulars within one's terrain and the results from it before building the strategic plan that leads to one's projected goal.
