What is it?	Agreement on purpose and direction of the whole system.
Who is it?	Everyone in the system – leaders convene, provide motivation, framework, resources and commitment to define and shape it.
Why is it?	Align and coordinate physical, financial, technical and human resources toward organization's goals.
How is it?	Participatory process drawing on a range of perspectives and insights from throughout the organization.
Where is it?	Everywhere in the system – its principles and imperatives inform everyone's role and responsibility in its implementation.
When is it?	All the time, through constant monitoring, periodic modifying, situation-driven recasting.

Strategy Axiom: Its execution mirrors its design.

(That is, if the strategy formulation process is comprehensive, coherent and inclusive, so will be its implementation. And vice versa.)

Strategy is everybody's business – and everybody wants and needs to know how their work influences and advances it.
