Hi, I know this isn't exactly what you mean about strategy but I think something that would be useful (especially to students) is strategy to survive as an interactive designer. During the retrenchment process of a company, the designers are often the first to go on the chopping block. How on a personal level do people negotiate life in this type of work?
I've had many discussions with students who have got themselves into trouble on account of poor strategy on a job (for instance, over promising). Some of the issues discussed previously in this thread have touched on this (for instance, how to charge).

So when I ask, what should interaction designers know about strategy?
