The Strategy Blog Manifesto

Introduction

Welcome to The Strategy Blog’s Community. We are a diverse community of thought leaders who seek to make the world a better place for all through the understanding and successful study and application of strategy. We gather at TheStrategyBlog.com to discuss ideas and strategies in a safe, open and respectful environment.

To support the goals of our community, we believe that the following truths are self evident:

Tough Problems are Opportunities to Apply New Ideas

The world abounds with unsolved problems, seemingly insurmountable challenges and open ended questions. We hold that these issues should not be looked upon as shortcomings or failures, but as incredible opportunities to create and apply new ideas. We are a community of thinkers actively looking for solutions to the problems of the world, both large and small.

Exploring Ideas Provides Us the Ability to Create New Ideas

No idea, no matter how novel or unique, can stand alone. Everything we know now and will ever know is built upon some amount of prior knowledge. Exploring existing knowledge, strategies and ideas provides us the ability to synthesize and realize new and innovative ideas. Through our successful consideration and application of these ideas we seek the make the world a better place.

Strategy and Compassion Are Not Mutually Exclusive

Through greater compassion comes greater understanding. Through better understanding of one another we improve our understanding of strategy. If the world were more thoughtful, we would have significantly fewer problems and misunderstandings. We will not seek to diminish the value of any idea, even those we disagree with. We will not dismiss new ideas out of hand and afford all members of our global community respect and consideration.

By participating in our Community you agree to uphold these truths.
