Purpose:

Strategies are developed to deal with the strategic issues already identified.
 
 

Approaches:

There are two different approaches:

1. Five-part strategy development process:  alternatives, barriers, proposals, work program plan for next six months, actions for next two-three years.

2. Structuring relationships among strategic options, listing options, linking them, mapping action-to-outcome, choosing goals, reviving and revising option relationships maps.
