Domain definition
The Strategic Domain serves as the organization's "North Star," aligning direction, priorities, and risk posture with its core mission. It translates long-term aspirations and legislative mandates into actionable strategies, ensuring that every capability and investment is purpose-driven and outcome-focused.
Key decisions
- What specific outcomes and public value define our success?
- Which tradeoffs are acceptable between speed, risk, cost, and resilience?
- How do we prioritize and fund transformation initiatives across horizons?
- What governance decision rights and escalation paths ensure accountability?
Common anti-patterns
- Technology-led strategy (selecting tools before defining desired outcomes)
- Unmeasured success (failing to link tactical activities to strategic KPIs)
- Strategy in a vacuum (creating goals without considering operational or physical constraints)
- Priority Overload (diluting impact by attempting too many simultaneous strategic shifts)
