The pace of change has accelerated considerably as organizations enter the digital age of the new economy. And because the world changes constantly at a "click" rate, strategic planning is the most essential and important part of a business cycle.

Strategic business planning is the process by which the guiding members of an organization envision its future and develop the necessary processes and operations to achieve that future. The model of strategic business planning presented in this methodology will help the organization to plan and create its future.

The Strategic Business Planning Methodology provides a framework for conducting a strategic business planning study and to map out an actionable plan for the business.

As digital technology is increasingly making an impact to modern business models and value creation, IT transformation is an essential foundation and prerequisite for the digital transformation of the business. IT transformation planning is therefore integrated with strategic business planning as one seamless entity.

The methodology is organized into four phases:
1. Strategic Business Review
2. Business Visioning
3. Business Strategy Formulation
4. Business Strategy Implementation
