9. Epilogue

This book discovers the complexity of Clausewitz’s work and operationalises his findings with regard to the challenges in the twenty-first century in a credible and comprehensible way. The instrumentalisation of Clausewitz’s theory to analyse conflicts in the twenty-first century and to develop strategies is uniquely presented in this chapter. This book is intended to bridge the gap between findings of a strategic theorist in the early nineteenth century and strategy of our times and to encourage reflection and study in strategic thinking in order to transform knowledge into genuine capability. Souchon presents an intellectual foundation for a strategy culture in the twenty-first century and offers a libretto that educates the minds of up-and-coming creative, knowledgeable and experienced future strategic leaders.
