Kenichi Ohmae's strategic triangle from The Mind of the Strategist (1982): a strategy only works when it accounts for the Customer, the Competitors and the Corporation (your own strengths) at the same time.
At the start of any strategy, positioning or planning exercise; when a plan has been built from only one corner, usually the company's own wishes.
A bakery finding that customers want early pickup, competitors open at 9, and its own ovens are running by 5 a.m., so it owns the commuter breakfast; a SaaS firm choosing a niche where its integration strength beats bigger rivals.
A simple, durable framing play for every business size. Flagged when the 'Corporation' corner gets all the attention and the customer gets a paragraph.
