Strategy Development Hierarchy

Another way to depict the relationships among the goal, ends, ways and means is by a simple hierarchical graphic. For each objective depicted below, there is an associated/supporting concept and designated resources:

• Goal
  • End - Objective 1
    • Way - Concept
    • Means - Resources
  • End - Objective 2
    • Way - Concept
    • Means - Resources
  • End - Objective 3
    • Way - Concept
    • Means - Resources

Please use the framework above when examining the National Strategy for the Physican Protection of Critical Infrastructures and Key Assets. You should examine whether or not each policy is butressed by the necessary ways and means. You should also examine if each policy has the same ways and means or if they are different based on the infrastructure. If they are different, you consider why these differences exist.
