Core idea:
maps may be more useful than diagrams
Not only in military but in business as well
Sun Tzu’s five factors
Purpose is your moral imperative, it is the scope of
what you are doing and why you are doing it. It is
the reason why others follow you.
Landscape is a description of the environment
that you’re competing in. It includes the position
of troops, the features of the landscape and any
obstacles in your way.
Climate describes the forces that act upon the environment. It is the
patterns of the seasons and the rules of the game. These impact the
landscape and you don’t get to choose them but you can discover
them. It includes your competitors actions.
Doctrine is the training of your forces, the standard
ways of operating and the techniques that you
almost always apply. These are the universal
principles, the set of beliefs that appear to work
regardless of the landscape that is faced.
Leadership is about the strategy that you choose
considering your purpose, the landscape, the climate
and your capabilities. It is to “the battle at hand”.

Foundations for Mapping

What is a map?
Landscape:
The image of
the environment
Climate:
The forces that impact
the landscape;
you don’t get to choose them
but you can discover them.
Purpose:
The scope +
your aspiration
[Your] Doctrine:
the training of your forces,
the standard ways
of operating and
the techniques that you
almost always apply.
Options you choose from.
[Your] Leadership:
Your choices and
applying your capabilities
to get them implemented
The map
The scope of the map
and its type
The arrows on the map
Your arrows on the map
