Strategy Innovators is the personal arm of Center For Advantage. Our expertise involves employing universal principles of strategy to address specific opportunities and threats affecting our clients. In particular, we specialize in effects-based strategies designed to help individuals succeed faster, more effectively, and more efficiently than possible using traditional strategy methods. We have applied our strategic principles to business, the military, and law. Our work with clients stays highly confidential between us and those clients. In keeping with the strategic principles we follow, we only act on behalf of a client when we assess that his or her goals, however difficult to attain, are indeed attainable; and that he or she is willing and able to take the actions necessary to succeed. We determine this through an initial hour long consultation that Strategy Innovators conducts without charge. Compensation after that is project based or hourly with an initial retainer.

Strategy Innovation: Business Advancement In business, the bottom line measure of merit is sustainable shareholder value. Business leaders who seek to gain sustainable shareholder value face a world of uncertainty. In that world of uncertainty, there are no universal advantages, but there are universal laws of advantage that serve as guiding principles for fast, effective, and efficient success. Strategy innovation takes the full range of direct, indirect, and cascading effects that may, with varying degrees of probability and risk, be achieved by all aspects of business power to include material, psychological-behavioral, and moral aspects of marketing, production, innovation, finance, law, and infrastructure in order to produce sound, comprehensive and actionable strategic plans.
Strategy Innovation workshops will set you on a winning course that leverages your competitive edge. The workshop uses Center For Advantage's proprietary Business Strategy

The Art of War: Sun Tzu Strategy Card Deck provides a practical and fun way to create winning strategies. It is a planning tool, a game, and a traditional playing card deck all in one package. The content is backed by cutting edge research on conflict strategy. In the workshop, we decide how to shape the field of contest. Shape yourself. Isolate and eliminate adversaries. Then seize your victory.
Behind the cards is very serious and useful conflict strategy science. Strategy Innovators takes you through the following steps:
1. Assess the advantages and disadvantages held by you and your opposition
2. Prepare the field of contest for your action
3. Act on the challenge or opportunity
By taking these steps Assess Prepare Act you formulate and implement a strategy.
Ideally, with the strategy formulated, you will either act to address the opportunity or threat, or you will choose to forgo acting on the opportunity or threat in a deliberate fashion. Your decision will depend upon whether you have value to obtain by acting, whether you are willing and able to make the commitment necessary to pursue that value, and whether you can win. When you choose to act, and in all instances where a strategy involves other people, you will keep in mind that delivering something of value to those other people, or threatening something of the same if you choose to take that path, is the key that opens any closed mind.
