Strategy Markup Language

idea

What is the idea?

Agencies should document their missions, visions, values, goals, objectives, and stakeholders on their Web sites in conformance with AIIM's emerging Strategy Markup Language (StratML) standard. 

Why is it important?

The prospective purposes of the standard are outlined at http://xml.gov/stratml/index.htm#DefinitionPurposes -- including enabling agencies to comply with the provisions of subsections 202(b)(4) & (5) and 207(d) of the eGov Act, which respectively require agencies to:

  • Work together to link their performance goals to key groups, including citizens, businesses, and other governments, as well as internal Federal Government operations; and
  • Adopt open standards (e.g., StratML) enabling the organization and categorization of Government information in a way that is searchable electronically and interoperably across agencies.

I strongly concur with this idea. 

A standard metamodel such as the StratML can provide a major step forward towards a coherent, cohesive, and consistent management life cycle across all of those organizations (government, commercial, non-profit, academic, volunteer, etc.) that need to track their direections, plans and performance against a higher mission (that is providing some or all of their operating funds).

The degree to which the StratML covers a full management life-cycle would determine its sufficiency for such a task. 

There are many pieces of a strategic management life cycle discussed through the full set of ideas submitted to this site.  They just need to be integrated into the appropriate place in a full life cycle to become optimally effective, efficient, and responsive.

StratML would provide a consistent terminology for the management life cycle of those organizations supporting ARRA.  This would reduce the cost of the ARRA implementation, as well as increase the quality, timeliness, accuracy, transparency, and completeness of reporting.
