The Four Strategies

Seeing what others can't.

Sometimes we're in a position not merely to compete within existing arenas of activities but to spot new possibilities nobody else had spotted.

Experiment when others won't.

In rigorously testing our ideas, we go against the common thinking that you need to know exactly what you want, admitting that we often cannot know but can find out through open-minded experimentation.

Influence what others can't.

Adopting a pragmatic style and engage in influencing others you can nudge the circumstances in a direction favorable to you one-step after the other.

Create what others won't.

You articulate a dream about the future and then try to solicit support from others. As more people buy in, changing some aspect of the world becomes a real possibility.
