Applications of Strategy and Tactics Trees in Organizations (Chapter
34 of the Theory of Constraints Handbook)
By Lisa A. Ferguson, PhD
Change is difficult to achieve. The Strategy and Tactics (S&T) tree is a powerful
tool for addressing the question of "How to cause a change?" in an organization.
If you are considering implementing any kind of change, you will discover why the
S&T tree is a compelling enabler of change. When implementing a change in an organization,
the basic requirements for success are communication and effectively synchronized
actions in the plan. The S&T tree is the asset for achieving your goal because it
presents all the logic of the plan and is easy to communicate to others. After writing
a strategic plan using the S&T tree, a Fortune 500 executive referred to his company's
past planning efforts as "amateurish." This chapter provides an understanding of
how to cause the change through descriptions of various applications of S&T trees
for organizations to become "ever-flourishing." A sample of this chapter is provided
above, along with the table of contents of the TOC Handbook.
