Archestra Framework: An Overview of its Development

Archestra treats strategy as a managed product.

In this perspective, the strategy management process is similar to the product management process. The genesis of the "product" called strategy is a framework

Processes are developed from models, and models are developed from frameworks.

The Archestra Framework is a structured, evolutionary knowledgebase of terms and concepts related to the underpinnings and lifecycle of a strategy. The Framework provides diagnostic approaches to examining strategy and identifying how strategy addresses renovation and innovation initiatives by managing:

risk and benefit;
their relationships and dependencies; and
the roles and dynamics for acting on them.

Users of the Framework can investigate the content to:
- add and improve definitions,
- document new relationships and patterns, and
- supply diagnostic or engineering tools to apply the content to strategic planning and strategic problem resolution.

Successful applications, related supporting materials from all users, and ongoing investigative references may be donated to the Archestra Foundation Class Library, where also will be stored standardized models and process descriptions for both creating and executing strategy.
