The relevance of classical strategizing methods decreases in the era of a rapidly changing world, but this set of methods can be e panded through a variety of e ible modeling techni ues from other elds. Opera ons research, enterprise modeling, nowledge engineering, and ar cial intelligence have poten al to enrich strategizing process. These disciplines have generated a large number of suppor ng methods. We provide a classi ca on of the modeling methods by the degree of formaliza on and propose a conceptual framewor for the method choice.

Th e paper aims to develop a method for strategic alignment of the organization's activities based on the technology of the Quality Function Deployment. Th is method contributes to alignment of the objectives and metrics of current activities (business processes, functional systems) and development activities of the company (projects and development programs) with the objectives and strategy of the company. It also ensures the prioritization of activities and identifi es the relationships between organizational capabilities and objectives. Th e paper presents formalization of the Quality Function Deployment technology by building a method-specifi c ontology. Th e method can be used for managing enterprise transformation along with the other enterprise architecture management methods and technologies based on organizational modeling due to a high degree of its formalization achieved by building an ontology. Th is is especially important in the digital economy era, when the object of enterprise transformation is not only organization of work, but also information systems of companies. Th e proposed method has an advantage in that it ensures a high level of adaptability to the management problem being solved and the terminology being used within the organization. It enables carrying out a strategic alignment both for the business area as a whole and for the functional system (domain) separately. Moreover, despite a high degree of formalization, the underlying Quality Function Deployment table-graphic technology provides opportunities for visualization, which makes the considered method of strategic alignment of the organization's activities readily available for understanding and use among practicing managers. Implementation of the method under consideration is shown in the context of developing an operating strategy for a medical company.
