Objectives, Speed, and Integrity

In my ongoing "philosophy of business" study ... whereby I have been reading up management jargon and scratching out all the redundant and fuzzy bits (a la MECE) since 2006 ... I now think contemporary theory of strategy can be boiled down to these three words.

1. Objectives refer to the highest level of abstraction in war. Values, subsequent policies, and subsequent implementation strategies fall here.

2. Speed contextualises objectives - primarily against the axis of time. Time dilation is the main differentiator of information (i.e. physical consciousness in general), opportunity cost (i.e. economics) et al.

3. Integrity nicely circles back to the concepts of wholeness, sustainability, and moderation currently popularised in wellness theory, ESG, et cetera bullshit bullshit et cetera.
