The strategy domain: vision, intent, and priorities

Three layers of the strategy domain shown for a grocery retailer: the external vision, the strategic intent and the competences it needs, and the priorities for this period.

The strategy domain sets direction for the structure and operations that follow, so the capabilities and value streams downstream can be traced back to a stated intent.

The strategy domain: vision, intent, and priorities A three-row matrix of the strategy domain for a grocery retailer. The external vision captures where the market is heading and what the enterprise believes, such as weekly shopping moving online. The strategic intent captures the mission and the competences it needs, such as being the easiest shop to reorder from. The strategic priorities capture the objectives and choices for this period, such as winning city families with same-day delivery.
