Strategy Realization

Enterprise Architecture benefit #7

What is Strategy Realization?

Strategy Realization (SR), or strategy and transformation realization (STR) is simply put: the agile process of discovering what works best.

Strategy realization involves feedback and feeds forward subprocesses. It departs from the idea that a strategy can be a well thought out predefined plan that can be executed rigorously.

How Does Dragon1 Support Strategy Realization?

Every organization that has a strategy will want to realize it. And for that put up programs and projects. Therefore you can create strategy maps, balanced scorecards and project portfolio maps and project landscape maps.

Example visualization of a strategy map that can be linked to a project portfolio map to see which projects are realizing which goals.

This enables you to see which projects are actually busy with realizing objectives and goals from the strategy map and balanced scorecard.

This helps you also to see where there are (blocking) solutions and technologies that should be removed, replaced or introduced, in order to help the projects in producing deliverables and realizing the required outcomes.

Using Dragon1 for Enterprise Architecture, is most helpful for reviewing, feedback and using the strategy: the strategic priorities and initiatives can be connected to programs and projects that realize them. Architecture can provide the integral blueprints and landscapes for the strategically required concepts, principles, standards and solutions and guide projects with them.
