Strategy & Tactics Tree (S&T)

An alignment tool that connects high-level strategic objectives with bottom-up tactical actions.

🎯 What Problem It Solves

Strategic goals can be too abstract for daily work, while daily activities might deviate from the strategy. S&T aligns them top-to-bottom.

🧠 Thinking Logic & Core Concepts

Every change requires 'Strategy' (what to achieve) and 'Tactic' (how to achieve it). The tactic of a higher level expands into the strategy of the lower level, creating a unified hierarchy.

1. Top Level S&T: Define the overall company mission and main execution path.
2. Decompose Levels: Define sub-strategies and tactics for departments (R&D, Sales, etc.).
3. Extend Downward: Break down until they represent weekly actions.
4. Audit Alignment: Ensure every strategy has a tactic and every tactic supports a strategy.
