We will begin by defining where the method
starts and where the method ends. Subsequently we will describe
the method at a high level.
Note: Our FTLM is Copy written and our
patent is pending. The ideas and methods outlined in this
brief are not available for use without the expressed written
permission of an authorized DSA representative.
We have broken our method down in to the following
stages that will describe where we start and where we end any
Specific Action Project.
It is vital that the objectives established
in any Specific Action Project tie directly back to Broad Action
Program Objectives established by Operational Executives. These
operational objectives should in turn be linked directly back
to Strategic Goals developed as part of an ongoing Strategy
management Process.
DSA realizes that many teams fail to trace
back and integrate goals and objectives through these three
stages. We also realize that many organizations lack a structured
method for derivation of Strategic and Operational Plans. To
that end, our FTLM begins with a structured process for managing
strategy, creating and managing operational plans and threading
the goals and objectives from these plans to the Specific Action
Project Planning stage of work.
Note: We have seen a number of Specific
Action Project teams fail to secure funding because they
failed to thread their objectives all the way back to Strategic
Goals.
