Strategy and Tactic Trees

The Strategy and Tactic (S&T) Tree was the last in a series of TOC Thinking Processes invented and released by Dr. Goldratt into the public domain, specifically designed for helping top managers prevent the common mistakes that result in such a high failure rate of change initiatives within organizations. The common view about strategy is that of setting the high objectives of an initiative or an organization. The strategy of an organization dictates the direction of all activities. Tactic, on the other hand, are the chosen types of activities needed to achieve the objectives – to implement the strategy.
