12. The Power of CollaborationProject strategy
© copyright Midas Projects Ltd May 2015
The one who figures on victory at headquarters
before even doing battle is the one who has the
most strategic factors on his side. The one who
figures on inability to prevail at headquarters
before doing battle is the one with the least
strategic factors on his side. The one with many
strategic factors in his favour wins, the one with
few strategic factors loses- how much more so for
one with no strategic factors in his favour.
Observing the matter in this way, I can see who
will win and who will lose.
Its not about winning the battle its winning the
war that counts
Sun Tzu ……The Art of War
circa 500 BC
