Strategy isn't inherently hard because of frameworks or because we somehow lack a strategy definition. Yes, skill matters. Knowing which questions to answer, and when, and how, matters. If you show someone new to strategy a Wardley Map, you'll see someone's head explode.Note: A big thanks to my co-worker John May for brainstorming some of these ideas.

This is awesome. Thanks for posting, and for sharing my work, too!
