Strategic Decision Register
Definition
A documented log maintained by the company recording all strategic decisions made above the strategic decision threshold, including the decision made, the date, the financial model used to evaluate it, the assumptions on which the decision was based, the approval authority, and the outcome relative to expectation at defined review dates. The strategic decision register is a governance record, not a management report.
Common Misapplication
The most common misapplication is treating the strategic decision register as a project log rather than as a financial governance document. The register must record the financial assumptions and financial model used to justify the decision, not merely describe what was decided.
