Comments on: Time to Get Your Political BOG on! http://h156100wp.setupmyblog.com/?p=86 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:20:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: JPJenkins http://h156100wp.setupmyblog.com/?p=86#comment-225 JPJenkins Fri, 13 Jun 2008 09:16:18 +0000 http://www.conservativebog.org/?p=86#comment-225 It’s my contention that Marine Corps Maneuver Warfare (MCMW) blends perfect into business and politics and I look forward to demonstrating with real world examples in each environment how it made a positive impact. Like so much in life, it depends on how it’s taught and demonstrated. Bottom line, MCMW is about doing more with less which of course all organizations wish to strive for. The difference between Winning in FastTime and MCMW is that while Winning in FastTime is awesome for helping any type of organization look at its strategy it doesn’t go into the weeds (tactical and objective level) for the organization. Nothing wrong with that of course. In fact FastTime is arguably better at the strategic side then MCMW but then MCMW is more about executive tasks and objectives. There is no perfect tool. Each has a strength and weakness. A strategy is a plan and you must have one. Without one you don’t know where you are going nor do you know if you are on the course for success or heading off to failure. With MCMW you gain knowledge about the tactical level (i.e. boots on the grounds, setting tasks to be executed and monitored) as well as objective level (the linking of your strategy and tactics together).

Although the military model is suited for fighting wars where the goal is to kill people and not civilian political campaigns where the goal is to convince other people, there strategies that cross over, like "center of gravity" as Winning in Fast Time demonstrates.
