14. Cycles of structural dependency (dynamic links adapted from VPEC-T framework)

15. Strategy, tactics, operations (overall cycle and relationships need to be in balance)

16. The ‘ quick-money ’ failure-cycle (common source of ‘unexpected’ failure – focus only on immediate profit, with classic “ last year +10% ” used as a substitute for strategy)

18. Serving the vision ...or, service-oriented architecture for the whole enterprise
