Yin strategy
The use of strategy as a mechanism to get into the business.
Once a week I go to a yin yoga class.
Until vinyasa yoga where you are 'using your body to get into the poses', yin is a slow meditative form of yoga that gives you time and space to do some deep stretching exercises. As a practice, you are using the poses to really get into your body.
The practice of strategy can also be approached in a number of different ways. For some, the business is used to produce a strategy.
But for me, a better approach is to use strategy as a mechanism to get into the business.
By using strategy work as a lens, it can be an invaluable method in developing a deeper awareness of where ease and discomfort lie in a business and then patiently giving time for a resolution to come from that attention.
Understandably this kind of yin strategy approach will not satisfy those who are time poor and looking for a quick fix to their issues, but for those intent on dissolving the underlying cause of unease in their organisations, a yin approach is recommended.
