A framework connects 1st order concept with 2nd order themes and aggregated dimensions. First rectangle in 1st order concept contains the text: A ‘Good Strategy’ implementable strategy, Organisations (including the strategy) should be designed upfront for Strategy Execution, Flexibility slash Agility of Operating Models when the Strategy Changes, The Strategy Execution Framework must be designed from a Systems View. First rectangle in 2nd order themes contains the text: The Strategy Itself, which finally connects to Ontological Essentials of Successful Strategy Execution in aggregated dimensions.

People (Actors and Actor Roles). The second rectangle in 2nd order themes contains the text: People (Actors and Actor Roles), which finally connects to Ontological Essentials of Successful Strategy Execution in aggregated dimensions.
