Strategic leadership is both an art and a discipline.

On the artistic side, an executive leader must constantly strive to find ways to differentiate his business from the competition. Being different is where success is found, while being the same erodes margins.

At the same time, a company that has a clear direction for success and then squanders it through shoddy implementation is equally at risk. Hence, the discipline.

The process below is meant to maintain the creativity required for a successful direction while, at the same time, ensuring that the process contains sufficient discipline to perform the actions required to execute the strategy.

Critical to the strategy process are such elements as:
- Formulating a strategic vision based on facts, informed assumptions, and the best possible what-if thinking
- Implementing and communicating the vision throughout the organization to clarify and align the role of every strategically critical player and process
- Monitoring and updating the vision to ensure its continued strength, agility and relevance
