A Global Aerospace Company
Wiley's process for alignment of company strategy into project execution is based somewhat on a "trickle" down approach. Corporate mission, vision and strategy are determined at the senior management level and relayed down to Program Managers who implement it in their project teams and execution.

An organization can achieve its goals through the formation of a structural design. Included in the structural design must be the outline of an organization's system. The system includes all the formal policies and procedures which coordinate and control the activities of an organization's subcomponents.

Strategy is considered a two part endeavor with the strategic model and then the tactical implementation of the strategy. Basically, what the strategy is and what actual activities (tactical) will be embrace this strategy. The process flow chart used in Global Aerospace's case...
