This diagram illustrates the information products required for a single strategic management process. Note that a strategic management process can be applied by any organization, any function within the organization, any program within a function, or any project within a program. The hierarchical nature of these information products corresponds with the parent/child details of any database application which supports strategic management.
Note that the activities of this strategic management process needs to be carried out any time there is a significant change in any of the parent components. For example, if the Mission changes, everything in the strategic management process must be revalidated, or if a Goal changes, the Performance Measures and all components inside that Measure must be revalidated.
In a dynamic environment, one of the most important enterprise Executive functions (at all organizational levels of the enterprise) is to track the environment for any changes which significantly effect the strategic management information products. Too often, organizations perform strategic management as though their environments are stable, when they are actually shifting significantly and unpredictably.
