Domain · Structured strategy cycles

What it covers

The scheduled rhythm of strategy work — quarterly reviews, half-yearly sessions, annual planning — and the priority-setting output that flows out of them.

Operations

Quarterly strategy review operation

Quarter-end → operational input gathered → performance against priorities reviewed → priorities reaffirmed, adjusted, or reset → next quarter's priorities issued.

Half-yearly strategy session operation

Six-month cycle → broader reset with market context → longer-horizon priorities set.

Annual strategic planning operation

Annual cycle → longer-horizon direction set → budget envelope agreed → targets cascaded to loop-level metrics.

Priority setting operation

Cycle output becomes a set of named, loop-addressable priorities → documented → ready for Area C to embed.

Notes

The rhythm matters. A strategy cycle that slips becomes a strategy cycle that doesn't happen.
