With all my respect, the post looks like BS and leads to bad strategies.

Good books on the topic:

- Blue Ocean strategy: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23627395-blue-ocean-stra...

- Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11721966-good-strategy-b...

I would say, that for good strategy you need:

[1] Understand what is happening in the market, why competitors are doing well / not doing well.

[2] Guiding policy. How to address company's issues from 1. or how to differentiate from the competition.

[3] A set of coherent actions to implement [2].

Hypothesis about future are important, but it is only a small part of the strategic thinking.
