Strategy Making and Strategic PlanningStrategy Making and Strategic Planning
-- Keys elements of a strategic plan
Strategy-making can be informal or formal. Strategic Planning the process of formalizing & institutionalizing plans and measuring & controlling performance against plans.
• Mission Statement – Outlines organizational purpose/rationale• Vision Statement – Frames the organization’s future• Goals & Objectives – Set parameters and quantifiable targets to be
hi dachieved • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – Specifies measures of success• Benchmarking – Provides frames of comparison against prior performance or against the performance of othersperformance or against the performance of others

Notably, the least discussed element of ‘ENTERPRISE’ architecture is arguably the most important – the STRATEGIC element… Not just IT or data strategy but the larger Organizational, Enterprise, Corporate strategy – the Big ‘S’. After all, it is or should be the glue that binds the Enterprise.
