1. A computer implemented method for developing a strategy alignment framework, utilizing a processor and stored in a computer readable medium, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving via graphic user interface a first information defining and describing a plurality of strategic elements including;
receiving a plurality of strategy outcomes,receiving a plurality of performance metrics,receiving a plurality of strategy platforms,receiving a plurality of strategic initiatives,receiving a plurality of leadership roles and,(b) processing the first information received to provide a first display of a strategy alignment framework wherein a plurality of alignment matrices is displayed and includes;
a plurality of intersecting rows and columns wherein each row has a plurality of one of the aforementioned strategic elements, and each column has a plurality of one the aforementioned strategic elements and,a box is formed and displayed at the intersection of each row and column,(c) receiving via a graphic user interface a second information defining an alignment status relationship between two sets of the aforementioned strategic elements, the second information comprising;
an assessment of a neutral alignment status relationship between strategic elementsan assessment of an aligned alignment status relationship between strategic elementsan assessment of a critically alignment status relationship between strategic elementsan assessment of a mandatory alignment status relationship between strategic elementsan assessment of a misaligned alignment status relationship between strategic elementsan assessment of a critically misaligned status relationship between strategic elements(d) processing the second information received to provide a second display of an aligned strategy alignment framework wherein a plurality of aligned alignment matrices is displayed and includes;
the applicable aforementioned strategic elements within their respective aforementioned rows and columns and,the aforementioned alignment status relationships between aforementioned strategic elements within their respective aforementioned boxes(e) receiving via a graphic user interface a third information that defines an alignment framework hierarchy, wherein the third information comprises;
information defining a plurality of alignment frameworks comprised of a first type of alignment framework including business unit, functional unit, or geographical locationinformation defining the placement of each alignment framework within the alignment framework hierarchyinformation defining the aforementioned strategic elements to be shared between specific alignment frameworks within the alignment framework hierarchy(f) processing the third information received to provide a third display of an alignment framework hierarchy, wherein a plurality of alignment frameworks are displayed, including their respective aforementioned first types, and their aforementioned placement within the alignment framework hierarchy;
(g) receiving via a graphic user interface a fourth information that defines a second type of alignment framework that each specific alignment framework within the aforementioned alignment framework hierarchy may be, wherein the fourth information comprises;
information defining an operations alignment framework comprised of unique strategic elements including, strategy platforms, strategic initiatives, projects, performance metrics, and leadership rolesinformation defining a driver alignment framework comprised of unique strategic elements including, strategy outcomes, strategy platforms, strategic initiatives, and external drivers

Abstract
An enterprise strategy management system includes a first software module adapted to formulate a strategy description based on an assessment of environmental data, a second software module adapted to align the strategy description with available enterprise resources and deploy strategy implementation responsibilities, and a third software module adapted to measure the execution of the strategy and identify opportunities to optimize strategic performance. The first, second and third software modules are adapted to implement a continuous strategy management cycle, and may be executed in any order. In one embodiment, the first software module is an STRATEGY FORMULATION module, the second software module is an STRATEGY ALIGNMENT module and the third module is an STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION module. The STRATEGY FORMULATION module includes software components for assessing environmental data, formulating and analyzing strategic alternatives and determining and approving a final, multi-level strategy description. The STRATEGY ALIGNMENT module includes software components for aligning strategy components, describing and aligning operational strategy components, planning projects, initiatives and performance metrics activity, and deploying implementation responsibilities. The STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION module includes software components for activating the launch of activities, implementing and measuring the execution of strategy and performance results, and identifying the opportunities to optimize strategic performance.
