Situation Normal, Everything Must Change
summary
Argument: poor situational awareness kills strategy; build maps by combining value chain + evolution mapping to get position and movement, then choose where to attack. Evidence: a study of 160 Silicon Valley companies links high-awareness plus open practices to positive market-cap growth; Ubuntu wins cloud share (70% by 2010) with <$1M spend; practical builds include a 2005 platform-as-a-service and a 1,753 PlayStation 3 cluster bought at one‑tenth supercomputer cost.
