Identifying the transformation ends
The strategy ends are defined by the visions and the transformation goals to be reached.
The elements describing the ends are aligned with components describing the necessary means: Missions, Strategies and Tactics.
Describing the Enterprise Vision
A vision is the ultimate, possibly unattainable, state the enterprise would like to achieve. A vision is often compound, rather than focused toward one particular aspect of the business problem. A vision is supported or made operative by missions. It is amplified by goals.

To create an enterprise vision:
1. In the property pages of the enterprise plan, select the Structure page.
2. In the Ends section, select the Vision tab.
3. Click New.

• its Owner, by default the current enterprise plan.
• the text of its Description.
