1. Elaboration

   Elaboration (from Latin ex- "out" + laborare "to labor") is the act of adding more information to existing information to create a more complex, emergent whole. Elaboration is the variant of development implementation: creating new structure relations, putting together, drawing up. It can be defined as adding details or "expanding on" an idea. It involves developing an idea by incorporating details to amplify the original simple idea. Elaboration enhances ideas and objects by providing nuance and detail. Elaboration may involve planning or executing a task with painstaking attention to numerous parts or details.

2. Helmuth von Moltke the Elder:

   Strategy is a system of makeshifts. Is is more than a science. It is bringing knowledge to bear on practical life, the further elaboration of an original guiding idea under constantly changing circumstances. It is the art of acting under the pressure of the most demanding conditions...That is why general principles, rules derived from them, and systems based on these rules cannot possibly have any value for strategy.
