6.6 Government Strategy Developer
Transforms a department's facts and priorities into a 5-year strategic plan. Launch on platform.
What is it?
Dragonfly’s Government Strategy Developer is a high-fidelity agent designed to produce professional-grade, publication-ready 5-year strategic plans for government agencies. It translates legal mandates and leadership priorities into SMART objectives, actionable initiatives, and fully costed implementation pathways.
Unlike traditional consultants or facilitation tools, this agent functions as a senior strategist-in-a-box, embedding cross-government coherence, fiscal realism, stakeholder synthesis, and long-term foresight. Its outputs are tailored to satisfy Treasury, inform Cabinet, and guide internal delivery teams.
Why is it useful?
Employing the Government Strategy Developer enables you to:
Translate mandates into action: Break down legislative authorizations into clearly articulated strategic goals, each with measurable impact and delivery pathways. Design for accountability and delivery: Integrate implementation timelines, KPIs, and risk mitigation strategies to ensure real-world feasibility—not just visionary intent. Align budgets and plans: Connect strategic goals with 5-year funding profiles and identify critical unfunded priorities. Ensure horizontal coherence: Spot cross-agency overlaps and design joint mechanisms to turn duplication risk into synergy potential. Anticipate future shocks: Incorporate feedback loops, tipping points, and adaptive capacity to ensure long-term strategic resilience. Enable continuous refinement: Automatically generate post-plan options to extend, stress-test, or reframe strategy for different audiences or scenarios.
How does it work?
The Government Strategy Developer follows a structured analytical process:
Goals & Initiatives
Focus: Translate the vision into 3–5 Strategic Goals with SMART Objectives. For each, map initiatives by impact/difficulty using a prioritization matrix.
Example: A goal to “Improve Service Efficiency” includes an objective to cut average transaction time from 30 mins to 15 mins by 2029, supported by initiatives like digitization, workforce training, and legislative simplification.
Theory of Change
Focus: Create a full logic model mapping from inputs to long-term outcomes, with a narrative explaining assumptions and causal logic.
Example: “IF funding and partnerships are secured, THEN digitization and training will reduce transaction errors, ULTIMATELY improving citizen trust and engagement.”
KPIs & Timeline
Focus: Assign indicators to each objective with baselines, targets, and methods. Create a 5-year Gantt-style table showing planning, execution, and operation phases for each initiative.
Example: Using P/I/O markers across Years 1–5 and identifying critical sequencing dependencies between data integration and service rollout.
Resources, Coherence & Risk
Focus: Align financials with strategy. Identify cross-agency overlaps and create a joint governance mechanism. List top 5 risks with mitigation plans.
Example: Flagging that success depends on an ICT procurement managed by a separate agency—marked as a horizontal dependency risk if uncoordinated.
Turning Strategy into Dialogue
Every Government Strategy Developer output ends not with a full stop, but with a provocation: What next?
The integrated Next Steps menu invites leaders to sharpen, stretch, or rethink the plan through a curated set of revision, extension, and divergence prompts.
Whether refining KPIs for Treasury, war-gaming failure modes, or reimagining the agency through a metaphorical lens, the plan becomes a living object—designed to evolve with insight, pressure, and time.
This is strategy as structured dialogue. Not just a document to defend, but a framework to challenge, adapt, and use.
