Firstly, there are many strategy publications which contain concepts, principles and approaches. David Booth has written "Strategy Journeys" - which provides a strategy development and delivery perspective.

In any strategy journey, it is vital to review the current strategy: the content itself and the information model that has generated but also the ecosystem within which that is manged. The ecosystem is covered in principle by ISO 37000 - and in practice by Business Integrated Governance (BIG)

ISO 37000 provides principles for Governance of Organisations - which includes Strategy as a principle of Governance. ISO 37000 provides principles to govern an organisation by.

BIG provides principles, components and approaches to create, adopt and sustain the ecosystem that connects the busienss purpose to strategy and delivery (whether that is busienss as usual, value generation or change). The material has been generated by over 100 voluntary contributors and is also published here in the Praxis Website (for Portfolio, Programme and Project Management) .

Once an organisation has teased out its issues, drawn its conclusions - there is guidance on principles to follow, components to use, and approached to take.

The workshop 20th September will illustrate how we transition from collected pain points and expectations to conclusions, responses and solutions based on common sense concepts and a step by step approach.

Next Session – deeper exploration the strategy itself – formulation and ‘build for manufacture’
