How to write a strategy

NDC Insight 03-2024: How to write a strategy , by Christopher M. Schnaubelt¹

Writing a strategy is difficult because the purpose is to change the behavior of humans. The most common context for strategy is in the sphere of military activities: how to apply force in a manner that breaks the will of an enemy, causing that enemy to stop fighting. However, strategy can also be useful at less intense levels of conflict such as crisis management and stability operations.
