summary
Argues that strategy succeeds by building situational awareness with visual maps that anchor on user needs and show a value chain plus an evolution axis, not by buzzwords. Uses Wardley Maps to spot climatic patterns, doctrine and where to attack; cites startling duplication like 103 workflow systems and a bank with 1,000 risk systems. Describes building the Simky JavaScript front/back serverless platform that grew fast but was shut down when a utility player arrived, and later driving Ubuntu to ~70% cloud share.
