  35. Another view • Long-term – Is the activity conceptualised to add long-term as opposed to short-term value? • Comprehensive – Does it cover the entire organisation or isolated components? • Planned – is it thought out ahead of time and is it well documented or does it occur on an ad hoc basis? • Integrated – Does it provide a basis for integrating activities that might be fragmented & disconnected? • High value-added – Does it focus on issues critical for business success or does it focus on things that must be done but not critical to financial and market success? Brockbank, 1999
