Geoffrey P. Chamberlain offers a slightly different perspective on the components of strategy, useful when the strategy is more about a personal goal. He identifies seven parts:
• A strategy is used within a particular domain.
• A strategy has a single, well defined focus.
• A strategy lays out a path to be followed.
• A strategy is made up of parts (tactics).
• Each of a strategy’s parts pushes towards the defined focus.
• A strategy recognises its sphere of influence.
• A strategy is either intentionally formed or emerges naturally.
