Is there still anyone outside of sleepy corporate incumbents around who has such an outdated and incompetent understanding of strategy? The points addressed are valid, but it sounds a bit like beating on a strawman. Strategy is NOT a 5 year vision, is NOT the yearly bullshit ‘strategic planning’ ritual you still see in enterprises etc. Strategy clarifies what you intend to do (and what not) in order to achieve a mission and gain positional advantage. Strategy is about creating situational awareness and figuring out the best options for movement. Strategy enables coherent action. Why not rather show what good contemporary strategy may look like?

"Strategy is NOT a 5 year vision, is NOT the yearly bullshit ‘strategic planning’ ritual you still see in enterprises etc." <= you see that a lot in many ... not enterprises, but start- and grownups. And it I'm under the impression that it's growing. Hence the beating, cause the strawman is growing.

I agree with the positive aspects you describe, though I find them fluffy, but that is probably normal in a short comment. I however wouldn't call that "strategy", unless you just call everything strategy - which happens a lot. So if you just call the structured tactical and operational thinking and action "strategy", then yes... you could say that's great.
