Strategy is a process of concentrating force at your opponent’s weakest point – sustainably and repeatedly while dynamically adapting to evolving situations.
Your strategy is your best plan for survival and future prosperity.

Avoiding unintentional risk taking aids resilience and offers a significant evolutionary advantage. In the words of Dave Snowden avoidance of failure is a more successful strategy than imitation of success.
