This document introduces G-CHECKS, a holistic strategic planning framework developed by knowquestion, a specialist information and knowledge management consulting company. G-CHECKS examines projects through four steps: defining aims and objectives, agreeing on an approach, identifying cultural and people factors, and evaluating strategies. It ensures value is justified separately from implementation and establishes common ground between stakeholders. knowquestion offers strategic governance, knowledge management, organizational change management, and systems implementation services to help clients apply the G-CHECKS methodology.
