Premeditation

By definition, winging it is not strategy.

Cannae was not an improvisation; it was designed and planned in advance.  Hannibal executed such choreographed strategies not just once, but many times in his years of war with Rome.

There are furious debates over the best balance, in a strategy, between prior guidance and on-the-spot adaptation and improvisation, but there is always some form of prior guidance.  By definition, winging it is not strategy.

ACTION POINT: Make the most of prior guidance and balance planning with adaptation and improvisation.
