Everyone is on the same field — even if it feels like they're playing a different game.
To play well, you need to understand where other players are focused, and what they see. You need the right tools and artifacts to explore the space, spar about what's important, and open up emergent possibilities for play.
This newsletter explores the game from the perspective of a strategist and consultant. The goal is to help you understand the field, anticipate predictable patterns, and make better moves.
More details:
- I send an update each Monday, building on prior weeks' thinking
