<strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>IT</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Toolkit</strong> – Section 2: <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>IT</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> Process<br />

9<br />

The inclusion of tasks that enable the management and control of developed strategies in the planning<br />

process should also be useful. In addition, the ability to leverage data generated from previous<br />

planning cycles (per<strong>for</strong>mance feed-<strong>for</strong>ward) in the process should result in a more intelligent planning<br />

process.<br />

We include two basic additional steps to the initial four steps identified above:<br />

1) planning the process<br />

2) strategy control<br />

Consequently, the generic strategy process will include the following six steps: planning the process;<br />

specification of mission, vision, desired future state or outcomes; assessment of internal and external<br />

environment; development of strategies; development of tactics or initiatives; and strategy control.<br />

For simplicity all process models have been enumerated sequentially (e.g. in Figure 3). In practice,<br />

these processes seldom proceed in linear or sequential manner due to the need <strong>for</strong> iterations over some<br />

steps and feedback loops.<br />
