Strategic Themes

• Strategic themes are essentially the corporate strategies an organisation is trying to achieve.
• These are set by senior managers and set and updated via an annual process at the highest level of an organisation.

Strategic Goals

• Strategic themes are broken down into strategic goals which take a subjective theme and put measurable numbers and dates against the strategic theme.
• These are tracked more frequently to ensure that the organization is on track to deliver is corporate strategy.

Benefits

• Benefits are the ultimate reason why a project or program is undertaken.
• In Altus, Benefits are the linkage between the project/program and the strategic themes.
• Benefits tracking will continue well beyond the life of a project and is usually undertaken by the business rather than the project team.
