The first of the 4 pillars is strategie. This pillar describes the boundaries within an organization. It answers a couple of questions that give guidance and direction to the organization. In total, there are 6 main questions to answer:
- What do we want to achieve together?
- Why do we want to achieve that?
- How do we want to achieve our goal?
- Where do we want to achieve our goal?
- What action do we need to take to achieve our goal?
- What metric proves that we have achieved our goal?
The 3 questions give us a clear purpose for the organization, a plan we can follow, and measurable actions we can execute. Strategy within the SOPHIA Framework goes a step further than normal strategies. Beside the mission and vision, it is your execution plan.
