It is a process – This means that it is a repeatable set of actions that can be applied in any organisation;

It works towards a specific destination – This means that the goals to be achieved are defined and structured clearly;

It defines the path to be taken – That means that the way to move the organisation forward is documented and agreed by the stakeholders; and

It increases productivity – This means that it must achieve a measurable benefit or value to the organisation.
