I must accomplish this objective in order to… ." Compliting the answer will provide the Strategy of the higher level.
General Advice 2: The easiest way to dive into a (yet not writen) lower level is to concentrate on the Tactic entity of the higher level and ask, "How exactly should this action be performed?" The answer will provide the Tactics of the lower group.
Start to build your S&T tree
Using the above advice it is clear that conceptually one can start to write a tree from any step at any level.

Harmony Testimonial
“We would never have been able to create our own sensible and thorough strategy and tactics tree if we did not have Harmony. We found it to provide an excellent structure within which your thinking is guided, grounded and it ensures that all bases are covered and result expectations explicitly set. It also proved invaluable when executing those strategy and tactics and retaining focus, always the difficult part. We now use it as the only decision making and strategy management tool".
Ian Visser, CEO Premier Foods
Premier Foods is a US $500m Viable Vision company and were referenced in Eli Goldratt’s latest book “The Choice”
