The underlying principles of strategy are enduring, regardless of technology or the pace of change.

Strategy is about setting yourself apart from the competition. It's not a matter of being better at what you do - it's a matter of being different at what you do.

A strategy delineates a territory in which a company seeks to be unique.

If a strategy meets a goal: It's working. If a strategy meets a target: It's a success.
