ABSTRACT
Projects, Results, Uses and Benefits (PRUB) Validate is an OpenStrategies tool which uses the PRUB sequence plus Evidence and Value to guide the development and validation of strategies. However, PRUB thinking is much more than just a strategy diagnosis tool. PRUB-Validate underpins strategy development and also guides strategy validation, implementation and performance management. PRUB-Validate does this for any size of strategy, ranging from a single small SubStrategy up to an OpenStrategy consisting of many interlinked SubStrategies. An Orphan Result is Adopted by another Project run by another organisation or elsewhere in the same organisation, we say that the Orphan Result has been Adopted it is an Adopted Orphan Result. A SubStrategy in which all the Results are either Used or Adopted is still not enough to Validate a strategic idea because at this stage it is merely a theoretical map of strategic possibilities.
