Conversion of Strategic Bullets into Global Accomplishment
Clues to a crowning initiative based on effective partnerships
- / -
Prepared on publication of the strategic
conclusion to the G20
Summit (April
2009)
further to the argument in
Engaging with
Globality -- through cognitive lines, circlets, crowns or holes (2009)
Checklist
- Strategic "bullet points" imply trajectories from their point of origin
to their culminating target
- The trajectory of strategic bullets is necessarily assumed to
be a straight line
- Time is required to traverse any strategic trajectory to its culmination
- Strategic bullet trajectories are necessarily differently directed and
therefore differently oriented to one another
- In the case of a global strategy, the trajectories need to be configured
such as together to encompass a sphere -- in order to be comprehensive
- In determining culminating targets at the end of a strategic trajectory
in relation to a sphere, the process of successful aiming is dependent on
precise triangulation
- Triangulation effectively depends on the intersection of three circles
of reference circumscribing the sphere of globality -- however this is comprehended
- Strategic bullets are necessarily designed to dissociate, through their
action, the unsatisfactory condition at their origin from the desirable condition
at their culminating point|
- In a global context the condition at the origin is strongly associated
with other local conditions and is dependent upon them in creating a stable
platform from which strategic bullets may be aimed and fired
- Similarly, in a global context, the condition at the culminating point
of a strategic trajectory is associated with other local conditions; it is
dependent on them for the stability and viability of the outcome
- The ability to transform a global strategy so configured into an alternative
and more appropriate structure, with a minimum of disruption, is
considerably facilitated by topological relationships with other polyhedral
forms
- The global structure of such a strategy can be readily represented, as
can its possible transformations -- a vital requirement for its communication
and credibility
- The trajectories encompassing the globe may also be understood as defining
the non-negotiable relationships between stakeholders -- configured globally
rather than in a circle (around a table) as is typically assumed
- Whereas the strategic trajectories are discontinuous and not directly related,
the local conditions are linked together in a continuous global network
- For the global strategic initiative to be robust, the configuration of
the global network of local conditions is appropriately robust if it constitutes
a spherically symmetrical polyhedron -- sustained in topological space-time
by the force of the differently oriented trajectories
- The polygonal surfaces defined by the local conditions, and forming the
surface of the polyhedron, may also be understood as specific topical negotiating
arenas -- necessarily distinctly oriented to each other such as to form a
spherical symmetrical polyhedron
- The delineating lines of the polyhedron may also be understood as the necessary
lines of (electronic) communication -- whether direct or indirect -- to sustain
the global strategic initiative; the connecting nodes are then to be associated
with the protocols (and algorithms) for switching and filtering of
necessary communications
