Strategy, Tactics, Operations and Doctrine: A decision-language tutorial


https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2007/09/24/strategy-tactics/

"Strategies are imagined stories about possible worlds, whose constraints are determined by elements of doctrine, and whose vocabulary is determined by available tactics. Converting those stories into reality through appropriate mixes of deliberative, reactive and opportunistic planning, scheduling, resource allocation and risk management, in the fog of action, is the discipline of operations." Venkatesh Rao

I have been using the Strategic - Tactical - Operational Pyramid for years now (taught to me by Bruce Reidy), and I am looking for a deeper understanding of how these elements work together. I do not agree with all that Venkatesh writes, but he certainly gives a different and well-considered perspective.
