Cover Story: This is the first publication of the Enneagram of Strategy in a Western journal. The Enneagram originated in Sufism. It is a mystical symbol (Mandala), adapted to personality typology by psychologists. Alongside Jungian/Myers Briggs, it is widely used in human resource management. The authors apply the Enneagram to strategic decision-making and use it in executive programmes and consulting. The strategy process is represented in the diagram through the hexagram, 142857. The context of strategy is described in triad 936. We outline the meaning of the symbolism in our paper. The methodology provides a strategic framework, but most importantly, the Strategic Enneagram is a Mandala designed to evoke management creativity. View this paper
