General Business Model – Strategic Pyramid

The Strategic Pyramid highlights the alignment that exists between an organization’s mission and the objectives, programs, budgets, and procedures supporting its achievement. As the illustration suggests, the further away from the organization’s singular mission the greater the number and detail of the supporting instruments. Execution of these instruments is subsequently shaped by the ongoing adjustments made in response to performance outcomes, external market forces, and internally defined strategies, policies, and standards.

Decision-Making Model – Stakeholder Commitment Evaluation

Decision commitment can be difficult to obtain and maintain.  Additionally, not all stakeholders will be equally important to the decision’s successful execution.  Therefore, it is important for the decision-maker to recognize
the level and source of a decision’s support.  As circumstances and the decision itself evolve, support for the decision may change necessitating continued reevaluation of each stakeholder’s level of commitment. The StrategyDriven Model, Stakeholder Commitment Evaluation, is an
easy-to-use tool that helps a decision-maker assess, reassess, and track a stakeholder’s support and his/her relative importance to a decision’s success.

Decision-Making Model – Decision-Making Base Model

The Decision-Making Base Model illustrates the concepts of uncertainty
and risk associated with hurdle and window decisions. (Hurdle decisions seek outcomes above a defined threshold while window decisions seek outcomes between an upper and lower threshold.) Additionally, the model provides the foundation on which decision-making articles and other models explore how various actions impact a decision's uncertainty and therefore its risk and the probability of achieving desirable outcomes.
