Also known as: Strategy Choice Cascade

Strategy is an integrated set of five choices, anchored by where to play and how to win.

Frames strategy as a cascade: a winning aspiration, where to play, how to win, the capabilities required, and the management systems to sustain them. Forces explicit, connected choices rather than vague plans, and applies to any motion.
