Abstract: Changing conditions within an organisation’s environment necessitate enactment of\nthe strategy realisation process to produce relevant coping strategic intents to\nsuccessfully reconfigure current, or potential, process networks to better exploit\npotential opportunities or minimise impacts of a potential threats.\nLiterature regarding strategy realisation has not produced a coherent approach to\ndescribe and decompose the subprocesses of the strategy realisation, i.e., several\ndifferent approaches have been taken to enact some components however there is\nno formal decomposition of such process. A revision of the strategy realisation\nliterature was conducted and a formal decomposition model for the strategy\nrealisation process was conceived.\nVarious modelling tools, methods and techniques were surveyed to enable the\nunderpinning of the proposed strategy realisation conceptualisation. Utilising a\ncombination of static, causal and simulation modelling methods and tools, a research\nmethodology was proposed to underpin aspects of the enterprise which would\nfacilitate the decision making process of the strategy realisation process.\nTwo case studies were identified in which the proposed methodology could be\nimplemented. In the first case study, two differing strategic intents were analysed\nwithin the same organisation under opposing economic conditions. The second case\nstudy observed the implementation of a different system configuration to achieve a\nstrategic intent. The strategy realisation process was studied using the described\nconceptualisation and the enterprise was modelled. Key variables, set by senior\nmanagement were observed and quantitative analysis was undertaken and reported.\nIt was concluded that the use of modelling methods providing quantitative and\nqualitative analysis facilitated the decision process within an organisation. A new\nconceptualisation of the strategy realisation process and the integration of modelling\nmethods, tools and techniques were devised.
