The Preconditions for Strategy

Scarface and Homer were on to something.

Tony Montana, aka "Scarface," once famously assessed, "In this country, you gotta make the money first, then you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women." 

Homer Simpson then piggybacked the sentiment: "In America, first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women." 

With strategy-making and organizations, the same principle applies. First you get the people, then you get the culture, then you get the strategy.
