Strategic Framework

Strategic Framework is the hierarchical structure of an organization's strategic plan. Each framework can have multiple levels and levels can have different name. The last level in the framework is always fixed. The label of the last level (strategic action item and its tasks) can be changed per framework. AN organization can have multiple frameworks and each framework can have different and unique levels.

Example -

• Organization “A” can have strategic framework with total three levels

  • Goals

  • Strategy

  • Initiatives (Fixed last level - strategic action items)

• Organization “A” can have another strategic framework with five levels

  • Priority

  • Goal

  • Strategy

  • Target

  • Action Item (Fixed last level - strategic action items)

For analogy, consider you are building a house. Strategic framework is like a floor plan of the house on which a strategic plan will be built.
