Quantum = occasionally (af en toe) but changing many elements at the same time
Piecemeal = frequently (vaak) but changing one element at a time
Plan: a consciously intend course of action to deal with a situation
Ploy: a maneuver to outwit an opponent
Pattern: a pattern of actions that emerge, unintended over time

Descriptivism: how strategies are actually formulated
Configurative: adapt to the situation, combination of the best of both worlds
Resilience: veering back and avoiding the negative
Agility: the ability to move quick and easy

Heuristics: shortcuts in information processing
Deliberate Emergent
Tangible Strategic planning Strategic venturing
