New Book “MOVE™” Offers AI-Enabled Strategy for Navigating a Rapidly Changing World
Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group) announced today the global release of “MOVE™: AI-Enabled Strategy for a Fast World,” a new book by international strategy advisor Tim Lewko, CEO of Thinking Dimensions Global. The book introduces a practical, end-to-end system designed to help leaders confront unprecedented speed, volatility, and technological disruption.
“Most organizations don’t fail because of a lack of intelligence,” Lewko stated in a company release. “They fail because decision-making is too slow, too fragmented, or too political. AI has erased the information advantage. The companies that win will be the ones that make disciplined decisions faster than their environment changes. MOVE gives leaders that system.”
With over 25 years of experience advising CEOs across four continents – and a track record of generating over $2 billion in enterprise value – Lewko developed MOVE as a departure from traditional, planning-centric strategy processes. The system leverages visible thinking, practical tools, and AI-driven insights to align executive choices, resource allocation, and execution.
The Urgency of a New Strategic Approach
Lewko argues that conventional strategy tools, built for predictable markets, are ill-equipped for today’s realities. Leaders are under constant pressure to interpret rapidly evolving trends, manage increasing complexity, and make critical decisions with speed. The rise of AI has only intensified this pressure, elevating the importance of disciplined and unified decision-making.
“Strategy used to be a planning ritual,” Lewko explained. “Today it is a speed problem. The winners will be the ones who can see what’s changing, make sharper choices, and execute through a rhythm that forces focus.”
Deconstructing the MOVE System: Seven Integrated Tools
MOVE™ is built around seven integrated tools that function as a unified framework for strategic thinking and execution:
- Strategic Assumptions (SA): This tool identifies the external and internal forces that will shape future decisions.
- Vision + Driving Force (VDF): It defines the organization’s direction and the competitive force propelling it forward.
3A. Product-Market Matrix (PMM): This tool visualizes where value is currently created and where future value creation must occur.
3B. Market Reality Check (MRC): It validates strategic bets by assessing market size, growth, competition, customer demand, and emerging threats. - Advantage + Future Capabilities (AFC): This identifies the capabilities needed to win, viewed through the lens of the customer.
- Strategic Numbers (SN): A concise set of leading and lagging indicators linked directly to the profit and loss statement.
- Strategic Project Portfolio (SPP): This translates strategy into a sequence of funded initiatives.
- Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs): A disciplined cadence to transform strategy into tangible execution.
Together, these tools provide leaders with a visible, repeatable system that connects assumptions, choices, capabilities, financial metrics, and actions.
Industry Validation and Early Praise
Lewko’s expertise spans diverse sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, private equity, insurance, logistics, and technology. Early reviews of “MOVE” highlight its clarity, practicality, and immediate applicability.
Michael Combs, President & CEO of CorVel Corporation, praised the book, stating, “As generative AI rewrites the rules of strategy, MOVE is the blueprint for how companies must rethink their approach to stay competitive. Tim Lewko’s deep expertise and global experience make this essential reading for any organization still using outdated strategy processes.”
