The following is a practical example of using the ‘Empirical Model’ of the strategic process (model described in the previous blog entry – Entry 13), in order to facilitate the understanding of the use of this model or tool.
As an example, we have taken a strategic process that begins with the development of an internal initiative by a person at the lower levels of the organization. This person informs the managers about their initiative, trying to convince them of its appropriateness. The managers evaluate and accept this initiative, planning (programming) its implementation. Finally, this strategic initiative is implemented as planned.
The following table and figure describe and represent this strategic process with the help of the ‘Empirical Model’ of the strategic process:
