Williams (2021) analyzes three aspects in the discussion post: setting the direction,
strategic thinking, and decision models. In setting a direction, Williams (2021) describes the first
step of setting up a successful strategy as to diagnose the challenges that exist within the strategy.
The next step is to process the development through guidance. This guidance can then lead to
actions that will carry out the strategy. The focus of Williams is on the issues that exist.
Identification of these issues is the most important start but must always be followed by action.
In the strategic thinking portion of the post, Williams focuses on the example provided by
Rumelt which presents advantages as knowledge, specifically by the 7-Eleven convenience
stores. Also, the ability to be able to respond quickly to this information provided an advantage
to the 7-Eleven convenience stores as well. The decision models presented are the John
Whitmore model and the consequence model.
An appropriate representation is made in the initial introduction of what strategies are.
There are multiple perspectives presented that carry weight in the conversation of how strategy is
formed. The theory behind how strategies are created and represented is accurate. That the step-
by-step process does lead to a conclusion and that is via action. If a strategy is created but never
acted upon then the entirety of the strategy is useless. Strategy tends to be conversed about how
to go about an action, but the part of the strategy that is often forgotten or to a degree paid
attention to less is the implementation, execution, and review phases (Motamedi, 2020).
Thinking is not the only aspect used in strategy; the counterbalance is an action-
oriented focus.
Rumelt uses an example of a client by the name of Logan that was a visionary to the core. The
issue he found was that while vision is a valiant part of a strategy, firms and especially
visionaries can fall short with action (Rumelt, 2011). This example in Rumelt (2011) is similar to

the verse from James 2: 17 which states, “So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is
dead” (New International Version, 2011). This shows that faith requires action. This is a
comparison to the conversation on strategy, showing that the belief in the strategy must be
followed by action in the strategy.
