How to Read This Site

The structure

Focus Area is a part of the business where something needs to change. It appears in the left navigation under Focus Areas, and its index page carries a short overview and a table of that area's Strategies.

Strategy is something we want to achieve that differs from what we do today. Each strategy has its own page, listed under its focus area in the navigation.

What every strategy page contains

Section	What it covers
Strategy Overview	What we are trying to achieve
Motivating Factors	Why we are recommending this. Current problems and pressures, or the pull of something valuable we do not do today
Solution Approach	The recommended approach for achieving it. Directional, not a task list
Tactical Changes	What would actually change, split into Structure, Process and People, each rated for magnitude
Additional Details	Anything valuable that does not fit the standard structure

The rating scale

Each area of Tactical Changes is rated before the detail, so the size of a change is obvious at a glance and strategies from different parts of the business can be compared against each other.

Rating	Structure Changes	Process Changes	People Changes
None	No organizational change	No process change	Nobody affected
Minimal	Reporting or grouping tweaks	One process adjusted	Existing people, adjusted responsibilities
Moderate	A team or function is reshaped	Several connected processes change	New or redefined roles, no headcount change
Significant	The shape of the company changes	How we deliver fundamentally changes	Headcount, reporting lines, or compensation change

What the ratings are not

The ratings measure how much changes, not how long it takes, what it costs, or how hard it would be to undo. A strategy rated Significant across the board might be achievable in a quarter, and one rated Moderate might take two years. Read the Solution Approach for that.
