A systems thinking perspective has stimulated a lot of discussion about the five activities of strategy management; formulation, transformation of the organization, engaging stakeholders, executing strategy, and governing strategy. But what is the relevance to evaluation of this strategic management system? It has generated more questions than answers, including; What is the distinction between ‘Implement’ and ‘Execute’? Where is the assessment of performance under the current iteration of the plan, which would be expected to feed into revision to the plan?
