Review: Strategic Intuition (Duggan, 2008)

The author discussed how does a success strategy
being created (or discovered). Innovation and creativity are based on
extensive and deep knowledge and experience, and an open, humble mind.
Nobody can predict the future, but we can get prepared and equipped with
deep knowledge (like creating strategy options), then actively search for
opportunities and changing objectives, with continuously reconstructions on
our intelligent memory (intuition, experience, and knowledge; they are
an single entity, not a few subbrain’s combination). Finally, based on
reconstruction of extensive knowledge legacy, a solution emerges in
correspondence to the opportunity/crisis. Historic innovations are not
coming from analysis or imagine, but intuitions of adopting and reassemble
existing resources. Therefore, the first thing is mission, then strategies,
objectives, and execution, not objective first. Moreover, to achieve
the mission, strategies can be replaced to react to environment changes.
