The diagram visualizes the dominant strategy execution (S E) themes through three levels: Ontological (or ‘Essence’) Layer (Level 1), Infological Layer (Level 2), and Datalogical Layer (Level 3). These levels explore the different components that influence strategy execution. Some of the points in each layer are given below: Level 1: Ontological (or ‘Essence’) Layer Decision(s) to Make or Produce a Product and slash or Service or pursue a Strategic Intent Making of agreements and the decision to commit to them The ‘right (‘Good’) strategy’ and the ‘right transactions’ (ontological transactions) The right internal right actor roles (the ‘right people’ (teams & leadership)) The right external actor roles (the right ‘cooperation partners’ (actor roles)) Clarity of Roles, Responsibilities and Accountability Limits Clarity of Decision Rights Reference Blueprint: The Construction Model of Organisation Level 2: Infological Layer The processes to orchestrate or coordinate the right transactions The way information is shared and what is shared (example, Policy, Process and K P Is info) How strategy or a strategic intent is perceived and slash or interpreted The organisation structure to support and aid the strategic intent Team or People - alignment of expectations and requirements The availability of the resources required to drive execution Alignment on ‘current’ and capabilities required to execute the strategic intent Alignment on Design and Operating Principles based on the finalised agreements Level 3: Datalogical Layer Perceptions about the leadership The way people work together Commitment of the people or teams and the leadership Accessibility of Information (Realtime, Periodic or by way of Dashboards) The communication channels and format Agility of the Leadership or Organisation The tools that help manage information flow, including platforms for data, and the way information is shared and packaged. The diagram includes “The Iceberg Effect” at the top, which suggests that these elements represent only the visible part of strategy execution, with much deeper factors at play underneath the surface. It also highlights “An Enterprise Engineer’s View,” focusing on systemic aspects of strategy execution, including architectural and behavioural elements and decision rights.Mapping of the dominant themes against the cooperation levels in an organisation – enterprise engineers perspective
