3 Steps: codification, elaborating, conversion- codification : clarifying and expressing the strategies in terms sufficiently clear to render them formally operational, so that their consequences can be worked out in detail
- elaboration : breaking down the codified strategies into substrategies and ad hoc programs as well as overall action plans specifying what must be done to realize each strategy
- conversion : considering the effects of the changes on the organization;s operations - effects on budgets and performance controls, for example
