Strategy Theme

Strategy development and delivery is a mature discipline (see IASP Body of Knowledge v3.0), yet many organisations still fail to realise their strategic intent. The gap isn’t theory – it’s execution: human behaviour, cross-functional complexity and resource allocation routinely break the chain from purpose → vision → delegated objectives.

For example, at an APM PMO Conference at which the Business Integrated Governance (BIG) CIC was presenting, when asked “who was responsible for supporting strategy delivery on their organisations” – none of the c. 100 delegates knew who that was.

The answer is to operationalise strategy delivery: combine an integrated governance operating model (Business Integrated Governance, or BIG) with a clear information backbone, work management, and prioritisation capability (for example, the TransparentChoice solution) so leadership time, funds and resources are deployed where they deliver the most value.

The BIG Proposition us to use Integrated Governance as a means to drive effective Business Integration of Strategy.

  • The BIG BoK offers a clear definition of Components and Enablers to build / sustain Business Integrated Governance.
  • The Strategy Theme therefore seeks to engage the Governance, Strategy, Change and Operations Professions to communicate what BIG has to offer, listen to their needs and support organisations adopting the BIG framework to operationalise Business Integrated Governance.

The BIG CIC has had input from many Strategy Professionals in our journey so far, and we offer links to the IASP in our Professional Links.

The Strategy Theme aims to surface content from the BoK and highlight activity from our Members, Sponsors and Professional Links – sharing ideas, calling for review or offering events.
