Limitations • It’s the present perception of a desired state from a supply driven perspective. • It reflects linear thinking based on project work breakdown structure. • Externalities are foreign to the internal logic. • Focus is on the process and control…self-accountability. • It’s a closed system.

(Inter-active open system) • Its magic is opportunities. (Creative alchemy) • It commits all actors. (Motivational DNA) • It empowers the stakeholders.(Partnerships) • It enables concurrent, scenarios.(Complementarities) • It aligns the activities, investments, efforts. (Focus & Convergence) • It is about believing in what you are doing. (Synergetic quest)
Strategic Intent • Sense of direction- A view of what ought to be. • Sense of discovery- A holistic approach enabling creative ways to achieve the desired situation. • Sense of destiny- Inherently worthwhile endeavour charged with an emotional dimension.
Strategic Intent “The strategic focus is the starting point for developing a statement of strategic intent. A statement of strategy must become then a statement of design through which the principles, processes and practices of an organisation are developed. These statements must represent the whole as seen from any location in the organisation”. VadimKotelnikov
