In the following sentences, I’ll present a comprehensive taxonomy of human strategies, exploring the diverse methods we’ve developed to achieve ambitious goals and solve problems.
This taxonomy defines the categories used to map the landscape of human strategic approaches. It will be incorporated into the upcoming Resolve reference model, along with a method for systematic strategy development.
Think of this as a comprehensive map with knowledge areas (Domains), regions of application (Extension), and periods to apply (Timeframes), connected by links (Interconnections).
I. Resolve Structure
A. Strategic Territories (Primary Domains)
Strategic Territories (Primary Domains) represent the fundamental arenas where strategic thinking applies. These domains define the broad categories of human activity where competition, collaboration, resource management, knowledge expansion, and future frontiers take place.
Each Strategic Territory (or Primary Domain) is a “knowledge area”, containing multiple subdomains that are further broken down by extension and timeframe,
leading to specific strategies.
Domain: What context the strategy operates in;
Extension: From individual to global systems;
Timeframe: From immediate tactical to generational.
Domains → Extension → Timeframes → Specific Strategies.
B. Strategic Highways (Cross-Domain Connections)
Strategic Highways represent formalized connections between strategic domains, allowing strategists to navigate between related strategies across different territories.
II. Resolve Implementation Guidelines
A. For Organizations
- Map Your Current Position:
- Identify which domains, extension, and timeframes you currently operate in
- Highlight strategic highways relevant to your mission
- Explore Adjacent Territories:
- Use strategic highways to identify connected domains
- Evaluate opportunities for cross-domain strategy development
- Multi-Extension Alignment:
- Ensure strategies at different extension support each other
- Connect tactical operations to strategic objectives
B. For Individual Strategists
- Personal Strategic Positioning:
- Map your expertise within the reference model
- Identify areas for knowledge and skill expansion
- Domain Fluency Development:
- Learn the “language” of adjacent domains
- Practice translating strategies across domains
- Temporal Range Expansion:
- Develop ability to connect immediate actions to long-term objectives
- Practice thinking across multiple time horizons simultaneously
III. Strategy Navigation System
Resolve reference model includes multiple ways to navigate different extensions, allowing users at different levels to find relevant strategies:
A. Executive View (Top-Down)
For senior leaders who need the big picture first
- Begins with broad domain overview
- Descends through extensions to specific applications
- Emphasizes long-range timeframes
B. Mid-Level Manager View (Middle-Out)
For those bridging strategy and tactics
- Centered on organizational extension
- Shows connections both upward and downward
- Emphasizes strategic and process execution timeframes
C. Operator View (Bottom-Up)
For tactical implementers who need practical applications first
- Begins with specific strategies at individual/small group extension
- Shows paths to broader organizational and societal impact
- Emphasizes tactical and operational timeframes
IV. Practical Application
A. Strategic Compass
This is a simplified decision guidance tool with four key questions:
- Domain: “What primary territory am I operating in?”
- Extension: “What is my sphere of influence and control?”
- Timeframe: “What is the time horizon I have available?”
- Connections: “What other domains should I consider?”
B. Strategy Builder Template
This template is a structured approach for strategic thinking. It guides you through a deliberate process, from diagnosing your challenge and defining a clear goal to assessing your operational context (domains, extension, timeframe), available and missing resources, and potential risks. With the ‘tight targets, loose controls’ philosophy, it bridges insights with a visionary strategy and let you detail dynamic actionable tactics and success metrics.
Diagnosis: [Define or explain the nature of your challenge in a specific context]
Main goal: [What is the specific goal that your strategy will follow]
Primary domain: [Select main territory]
Related domains: [List connected territories via strategic highways]
Extension: [Identify your primary region of operation] Timeframe: [Select time horizon]
Available resources: [Identify key assets]
Unsecured resources: [Missing assets, like stakeholders, that you don’t have available, but if you get in the process, would be essential for progress]
Risks: [Potential obstacles]
Strategy: [Define what is the vision to overcome the challenge. This is the bridge that connects your resources to your goal. A strong strategy follows the ‘tight targets, loose controls’ philosophy]
Implementation approach: [Outline core tactics. How you will achieve your main goal through the means (resources) you have available]
Measurement scheme: [Define success metrics]
