Strategy Design and Planning Chapter Outline The strategic design approach the strategic planning approach The Design versus The Planning Model A Model for strategic planning

The strategic design approach Seven Premises strategy formation should be a controlled, conscious process. the CEO is “the” strategist. strategy formation must be kept simple and informal. 51

The strategic design approach Strategies should be unique. strategy design should be full-blown, not incremental. strategies should be articulated. once the first 6 premises are completed the strategy can be implemented. 51

The Strategic Planning Approach 3 premises strategy formation should be a controlled process. responsibility rests with the CEO in principle, and executed by staff planners. strategies emerge full-blown, to be explicated for implementation. 53

differences between the design and planning approaches the design model emphasizes simplicity and informalness while the planning model uses an intricate array of procedures. The planning model uses staff planners as major actors, while the design school uses them as minor actors in the implementation process. 53
