The Structures for Strategy™ formula, with regard to this Strategic Plan format, is designed specifically for line managers, executives or entrepreneurs looking to enhance the strategic planning emphasis within their organisation. The language used and the techniques referred to throughout the arrangement of primary frameworks, the sub frameworks elements & prompt guides, will be well recognised by strategic planning specialists involved in the craft of strategy-crafting, execution and implementation. What has been attempted throughout is to gather disciplined knowledge into a strategic planning package that can be easily adapted to the strategist’s style and which covers the majority of ingredients necessary for easily structuring a holistic plan within any size of organisation or its products portfolio mix.

Certainly, all of the frameworks detailed in this planning formula to a greater or lesser degree, would be, or should be, already operative in sustaining your brand against rivals or in satisfying a need in the segments where the brand is currently being targeted. So not all of the frameworks detailed in each section of the Structures for Strategy™ formula may attract your immediate application attention. But in one way or another, they will all need to be inclusive within your overall approach in order for you, as the strategist, to achieve any short term shifts in emphasis, or to consider any long-term strategies. This would no doubt include a focus with regard to an overall strategic planning philosophy and the in-house or contracted operations structure in support.

But whether an extensive plan is required right now, or only a few elements raise a level of interest for you, the frameworks detailed in each dedicated plan title can easily be ‘copied & pasted’ into a planning document that best suits the level of planning to be addressed. And the prompt guides are useful when partial or expanded operational issues require specific attention. They take the planner through at least five vital checkpoints that may require analysis or investigation in order to address their specific planning focus. Each framework acts as a stand-alone element, contains sufficient information to holistically address any particular strategy-crafting issue or mass of executions needed, and implementation is aided by simplicity.

For the executive, SBU manager or entrepreneur who has become convinced that strategic planning is what is driving the competitive edge against their own stable of products, the Structures for Strategy™ method is an ideal tool in gaining the technical aspects of what disciplined strategy management is all about. Notably there is a crossover into business budgeting as a better understood discipline, perhaps, where duties appear massed, since strategy planning as a standalone structure is usually more apparent in larger companies where planning is an annual, stand-alone, collective or regular ritual highlighted as a competitive management weapon, and is now attracting attention within small business operations.
