SECTION 5 – ENGAGEMENT TYPE 2: STRATEGIC DESIGN
STRATEGIC DESIGN
The aim of strategic design is typically to significantly change the business process in one or more business units or functional areas.

The primary source of information for the Set Course activity set is the client sponsor(s) and persons they designate. All of the activities in this activity set are important and all of them should pleted. The typical duration for this activity set for a Strategic Design Engagement is between one and two weeks. The sequence of activities is not rigid and actually much of the work can be done concurrently.
Activity – Draft Statement of Work

It is also mended that all consultants involved in the engagement e familiar with the SOW early on.
The importance of the SOW can not be overstated. It is the foundation for everything es after, it sets expectations and will continue to be a key reference through the engagement.
