Effective strategic thinking requires a clear understanding of
one's external environment. Each organization has a unique
environment, but as Ross Harrison explains in Strategic Thinking in
3D, any environment-whether in the fields of national security,
foreign policy, or business-has three dimensions: systems,
opponents, and groups. Systems strategy involves the challenge of
creating leverage against opponents by shaping the external
environment they rely on for sustaining their power.
Opponents-based strategy requires analyzing a competitor's
capability, motivation and strategy, assessing one's own
competitive challenges, and then developing approaches for directly
confronting the opponent. Strategy applied to groups aims at
mobilizing political, consumer, and market groups against the power
of an opponent. Strategic Thinking in 3D makes strategy"portable"
for individuals who switch careers multiple times during their
professional lives, moving between public, nonprofit, and private
sector jobs. Harrison uses al Qaeda's strategy against the United
States as a"capstone" case study to demonstrate how strategic
success often results from the cascading effect of "wins" in all
three of these dimensions. Conversely, strategic failure can come
from the mutual reinforcement of "losses" across these same three
dimensions. Reinforcing and integrating the concepts, Harrison
shows how strategy in 3D actually works in practice.
