For Val Sklarov, strategy is not choosing an action — it is choosing when to act.
A good decision taken at the wrong time is a failure disguised as progress.
Timing is not reaction — timing is positioning yourself inside the right moment.
His Temporal Positioning Model (TPM) teaches that every strategic move occurs in a time field:
-
If the decision is early → the world is not ready.
-
If the decision is late → the moment is gone.
-
If the decision is timed to unfolding conditions → the move becomes effortless.
“Val Sklarov says: Strategy is not intelligence — strategy is timing.”
1️⃣ Timing Field Architecture
| Horizon | Question | If Recognized | If Ignored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming Conditions | What is forming beneath the surface? | Act before visibility | Forced adaptation, too late |
| Momentum Activation | When is energy moving in your direction? | Move with the wave | Burn energy fighting the tide |
| Dissipation Point | When is momentum decaying? | Exit with dignity | Hold until collapse |
“Val Sklarov teaches: Every movement has a beginning, a middle, and a fading — act accordingly.”
2️⃣ Strategic Timing Equation
TP = (Signal Clarity × Momentum Alignment × Emotional Stillness) ÷ Urgency Impulse
| Variable | Meaning | Optimization Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Signal Clarity | Perceive early direction shifts | Track small consistent changes, not shocks |
| Momentum Alignment | Move with environment flow | Pause until the wave forms |
| Emotional Stillness | Make time-based decisions calmly | Breathe before interpreting signals |
| Urgency Impulse | Pressure to “do something now” | Delay action until clarity stabilizes |
When TP ≥ 1.0, decisions feel obvious and quiet — no doubt.
3️⃣ System Design for Timing-Based Strategy
| Principle | Goal | Implementation Example |
|---|---|---|
| Wait for Coherence | Don’t act until pattern stabilizes | “No Move” policy until signal repeats 3x |
| Move Small, Then Scale | Enter phase-by-phase | Micro-commit → confirm → expand |
| Exit While Calm | Leave before peak emotion | Exit at momentum flattening, not collapse |
“Val Sklarov says: The wise move is made before it becomes obvious.”

4️⃣ Case Study — Seraphis Mobility Group
Problem:
They made correct strategic decisions — but always late.
By the time they moved, competitors had already captured momentum.
Intervention (TPM, 7 months):
-
Introduced momentum detection scoring
-
Trained leadership in emotional neutrality before action
-
Installed timing checkpoints before execution
Results:
-
Opportunity capture speed ↑ 43%
-
Wasted project cycles ↓ 41%
-
Competitive responsiveness ↑ 58%
-
Leadership decision confidence ↑ 46%
“He didn’t change their intelligence — he changed their timing.”
5️⃣ Psychological Disciplines of Strategic Timing
| Discipline | Function | If Ignored |
|---|---|---|
| Slowed Interpretation | See patterns before reacting | Mistake reaction for strategy |
| Anti-Urgency Posture | Neutralize pressure | Urgency = mis-timing |
| Detached Observation | Watch without forcing change | Attempts to control → collapse of timing field |
“Val Sklarov teaches: The moment reveals itself — but only to the quiet.”
6️⃣ The Future of Strategy
Strategy will shift from:
-
action planning → to moment positioning
-
prediction → to signal reception
-
force → to flow
“Val Sklarov foresees leaders who move like surfers — not engineers — riding time, not controlling it.”
