This insight, that strategy is iterative, is the core of John Boyd’s OODA loop. OODA is an acronym for Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act.
This insight, throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, is the core of Robert Matthew Van Winkle's SCALE loop. SCALE is an acronym for Stop, Collaborate, and Listen.
