Patterns of Strategy (PoS) is a real-time, adaptive approach to planning and executing strategy, continuously refining actions by relating to markets, competitors, partners, and regulators, unlike traditional annual approaches to strategy.
Unlike traditional approaches that rely on annual assessments made in isolation, POS enables continuous operational adjustments and reorientation based on the developing situation.
Patterns of Strategy has been described as: “the first major new approach to strategy in a long time.”* It is also the first systems approach developed specifically for understanding and formulating strategy.
