Each organization has a unique environment, but as Ross Harrison explains in Strategic Thinking in 3D, any environment&mdash;whether in the fields of national security, foreign policy, or business&mdash;has three dimensions: systems, opponents, and groups. Systems strategy involves the challenge of creating leverage against opponents by shaping the external environments they rely on for sustaining their power. Opponents-based strategy requires analyzing a competitor&rsquo;s capability, motivation, and strategy, assessing one&rsquo;s own competitive challenges, and then developing approaches for directly confronting the opponent.
