And as if by magic, I've barely finished the previous post explaining you can stuff strategy, today everything is about tactics here's a blog from a consultant saying the same thing. I wonder if Gartner clients are as confused as me?

A very interesting article in today’s Wall St. Journal quoted several sources that clearly support many of the underlying assumptions, imperatives and actions we have been talking about for the last half year in our Pattern-Based Strategy research.

Sources cited by the Journal include Office Depot, Accenture, Spartan Motors, Boston Consulting Group, Whirlpool and McKinsey. Let’s be clear. These firms may not have heard of our Pattern-Based Strategy work. But what they’re doing — actively seeking early indicators of change, dynamically adjusting their plans and seeking far greater business agility fits right into the bigger picture that we’ve been painting.

If you haven’t heard of what we’re saying about "Pattern-Based Strategy", start here — this piece is free to all. Gartner clients can drill in further. Two of the earliest pieces we wrote (of nearly 100) are "Introducing Pattern-Based Strategy" and "Five Eras of IT Business Value Add: From Automation to Pattern-Based Strategy".
