Strategic Accomplishment

To accomplish something, is to bring about a desired result. The individual components of accomplishment can be broken down as either tactical or strategic.

Tactical is often viewed as small-scale actions that contribute to a larger purpose, while strategic accomplishment is more focused on the integrated planned effect of a company. Strategy comes in many shapes; likewise there can be varying levels of impact. The one given is that attaining a successful strategy is critical to any business.

A Strategic Accomplishment Map can be used for keeping your strategy visible at all times. This example may be used as a template.

A company's strategic plan must be broken down to departmental and individual levels. If this is not done, the company's strategy may never be effective, as participants will not understand their roles. “If the building blocks are clearly defined, the essence of even the most complex strategy can be expressed on one page.” - An excerpt from, Execution. The Discipline of Getting Things Done. At CS Odessa our version of this quote is: “If the building blocks are clearly defined, the essence of even the most complex strategy can be expressed on ONE MIND MAP.”
