Our advice support the firms to unravel the complexities of strategy creation. Strategy starts in the minds of the Founders of a company. To unravel a founder's strategy held in their heads requires knowing the right steps to explain their strategy held in their head to writing it on paper. 

Our advice is simple by focusing on four questions that should be answered through our workings together. 

• Is the focus on business strategy?
• Is the focus on corporate strategy?
• What is the right strategy for a firm?
• Defining operational effectiveness in strategy 

So, our journey working together starts by focusing on the questions to comprehend the appropriate strategy to be developed for a firm.

Focus is to identify the firm's understanding of its industry dynamics and the forces driving change. To assess a firm's competitive powers and its resources and capabilities to differentiate the best strategy for operational effectiveness. 

Shock & Awe is to achieve dominance in domestic and international markets. A term used in military strategy on achieving rapid dominance over adversaries by overwhelming intensity and armaments.

Shock & Awe focus:

1. Identify the firm's resource, capability, and operational effectiveness.
2. Industry dynamics and forces driving revolution.
3. When differentiation strategy works the best
4. Identifying a firm’s market opportunities. 

The introduction of using a combination of military strategy in business gives a different perspective to achieve a firm's dominance in a changing industry environment.

Management is a collection of functions performed on behalf of an enterprise, and the term also refers to specific groups of people whose main role is to perform these functions. Management has history from military training which involves periodic reflection and reassessment of tactics and behaviours. 

This has given rise to learning of:

· Behavioural Theory of the Firm

· Competing Values Framework

· Competitive Advantage

· Diversification Strategy

· Firm Growth

· Goal Setting Theory

Using military strategy provides critical insight to successful planning, execution of a firm’s operations. Military strategy is influenced by many factors such as geopolitical, economic, and technological considerations. There are key concepts and practices used by the military that should be used in business; these are objective, offensive, defensive, and economy of force, and different manoeuvres, the use of surprise and operational talent.

Concepts used by military and business in strategy:

1. SWOT
2. Competitive Advantage
3. Resource Allocation
4. Game Theory
5. Decision making under uncertainty.  

These concepts are used by military and business strategies to analyse the environment, understand the objectives, and allocate resources to make decisions and achieve success.
