Philosophy. (Greek philos, loving + sophos, wise) Philosophy refers to your fundamental assumptions, presumed motivators, and accepted truths concerning life, human nature, behavioral dynamics and the nature of reality itself.

Culture. Culture represents the entertainment of philosophy in society or organization through the use (or misuse) of education and ritual. Cultural activities act to reinforce or “prove” the truth of the philosophy; they also provide members with a context from which to understand their work.

Policy. This is rule and law that describe the limitations and the powers of a culture in practice. For example, a society’s policy defines its goals for its citizens. An organization’s policies serve to codify its purpose, goals, or mission into a set of directives which can be followed.

Strategy. This is the schematic that accomplishes your mission, fulfills your vision, and demonstrates your values. It is the strategic planning process that continuously and dynamically defines the actions that recreates and reinvents organizations into healthy systems.

Tactics. Tactics are the innovations necessary to execute a plan. Defining the right programs, projects, and events to fulfill the strategic direction is the creative act of this phase. A tactical implementation is one that ensures that an organization is moving systemically, and in concert.

Logistics. Logistics is identifying actions and deploying appropriate resources to meet the program objectives. An important facilitator in complex adaptive organizations, we must continuously identify technical systems that can release knowledge resources to work in all vantage points.

Task. Task is the level of doing it: the specific work and everyday steps that are taken in the pursuance of an individual’s or an organization’s larger goals.
