It's best done with diversity of opinion, so it is important to gather
people from all walks of the organization, because practical experience and
knowledge allow you to understand the pitfalls of the strategy.
Strategy is not an event.
Strategy is what it takes to reach your destination and
to be able to overcome all the barriers thrown along the way.
And the more practical experience you can gather, the more diverse opinions that you
can gather, you are able to craft a really productive and workable strategy.
Every situation is a battle plan.
Every situation requires the ability to craft special solutions.
If you're starting out in strategy,
the prerequisite is to have a lot of practical experience yourself.
And then, to learn from a practitioner who can describe the kinds of strategies
they have implemented in different situations.
