 The new dynamics of strategy: Sense-making in a complex and complicated world
Instead, the framework is used primarily to consider the dynamics of situations, decisions, perspectives, conflicts, and changes in order to come to a consensus for decision-making under uncertainty.
The problem with this dynamic is that it introduces a new stability that in turn becomes more rigid until the new order breaks in its turn.
In strategy, this method can be used to create and validate new sources and structures for decision-making.

If you are a winning player, you probably realize that perfect play goes a lot further than simply never allowing yourself to go on tilt, bluffing and calling at appropriate frequencies, playing the right starting hands in the correct positions, and seeking out the best games.

Moreover, if you are not yet thoroughly grounded in basic strategy, you cannot consider yourself a winning player and your goal at this juncture ought not to be perfection.

 Strategy Dynamics (Warren)
The Strategy Dynamics method from Kim Warren is a technique that can be used to explain the business performance to date, and develop strategies for improving the future performance, based on building and retention of resources and capabilities.
The underlying science is the System Dynamics method, originated by Prof Jay Forrester at MIT in the 1960s, applied explicitly to a resource-perspective of organizations and strategy and the principle of asset-stock accumulation highlighted by Dierickx and Cool, and long recognized to lie at the heart of Strategy and performance.
However, in contrast to the Resource Based View [Wernerfelt, Barney, Grant, et al], and competence-based and knowledge-based perspectives on strategy, the method stresses the importance of mundane resources [products, people, capacity...] as well as the role of rare and inimitable factors believed to be responsible for sustained competitive advantage.
