When analyzing a new situation or development, do you:

A) Zero in on small, discrete details involving who, what, where and how?
or
B) Step back from the situation, unfocus your eyes and look for larger patterns that might explain the “why” of the new event?

Both approaches are valuable, but few of us have the capacity to do both at once. For that, you need a team.

How do these skill sets contrast and compliment each other? Watch as these two best-selling authors – geopolitical analyst Dr. George Friedman and security expert Fred Burton – discuss the focus and values of strategic versus tactical approaches, and what it can mean when they are combined.
