Strategy-as-a-Document
The legacy paradigm of treating strategy as a static written artefact — a slide deck, PDF, or Notion page — rather than living, queryable infrastructure.
Why it matters
Strategy-as-a-document is the root cause of the four structural problems that kill execution. When strategy lives in documents, it is inaccessible (context problem), invisible (visibility problem), immediately stale (freshness problem), and impossible to enforce (guardrails problem). The AI era makes this paradigm not just inefficient but dangerous.
