This piece is quite rich in perspective. One principle that really resonated with me while reading was the importance of staying anchored to the value we’re meant to deliver.

This is SO good!! You are onto a winner here :o)

I did learn something new in this article actually. The comparison to the military is fascinating and I've never questioned it before, but you make some very good points. I find myself frequently using military analogies myself when it comes to strategising.

Yes indeed. I think sometimes the terminology ends up making you focus on the competition instead of the customer.

Great post. The more we focus on what we want, competitors, tech, etc. the further we stray from customers, and they’re the ones that fund everything.

Thank you. Indeed. It is so easy to get distracted by competition or tech. In the end everything comes down to if the customer wants to give you their money or not.

What if machines are on their own binge…?& humans really are unable to make it (the automated machine) understand ethical strategy?

What if the data focused machine devoid of ethics is just driving into human lives& communities like a brain/emotionless screen projecting humanities lives & tying everything to markets, but in reality its humans lives, families, efforts, work, etc…. (Basically violating human ability to live with dignity& treating human as commodity, as product on the market…. History has those horror scapes… when mindless issues of greed caused havoc in humanity)
