Strategy is an organizational schema
A strategy is not a plan or a set of goals. It is a shared mental model of how the organization creates and captures value — a schema that tells every member what to prioritize, what to ignore, and how their work connects to the organization's purpose. When the strategy schema is clear and shared, the organization acts with coherence. When it is vague or fragmented, even talented people pull in contradictory directions.
