Wardley Strategic Cycle
Source: Learn Wardley Mapping
The Strategic Cycle created by Simon Wardley is a process of making strategic decisions (leadership) based on the purpose (“the game”), a description of the competitive landscape (a map), the external forces acting on the landscape (climate), and the training of your people (doctrine).
It is based on Sun Tzu: The Art of War and his minimum set of considerations required for strategic decision-making.
