7. Review the strategy. The final step has two evaluation and correction actions asso ciated with it. First, assuming that deployment was successful, the performance of the entire system, and all the new strategy elements, must be measured and evaluated. If the organization isn't progressing satisfactorily toward its goal, the strategy should be eval uated and adjusted as needed to improve progress. Second, even if progress is satisfactory, at a somewhat longer interval the basis of the strategy itself—the system boundary, goal, and critical success factors—should be reviewed.
This might be a plant or office location. More than one physical location might be included within such a boundary—a warehouse located separately from a manufacturing facility, for example. For some organizations, however, the determination of a system boundary isn't so easy. If there are several divisions within the company—these are often called strategic business units—the system boundary may include them all.

Because actions required at the operating level to support the strategy are vertically "nested" and clearly displayed along with the overall strategy, deployment is relatively straightforward.
