The System Gambit is a rigorous guide to the one strategic move that most investors and operators never make.
They say companies get disrupted because they miss the signals. This is technically true, but it is besides the point. You are not missing the signals. You are reading them correctly and responding rationally, and the rational response is the trap. Every benchmark you hit is proof that you are excellent at a game whose rules have already changed. Nobody is going to tell you this. Your metrics cannot see it and your board is scoring the old game. Finding it is your job, and it is worth doing properly.
The move is a system crossing rather than a reallocation of resources, because the logic that wins in your current system is the same logic that blocks the position that compounds in the next one, and you cannot run both at once. This book maps the eight system crossings, the sacrifice each one demands, and how to defend that sacrifice to people still keeping score the old way.
