A structured process for developing a strategy for achieving a tax-related objective includes a series of principal steps, each of which includes one or more substeps. The principal steps may include : (1) generating one or more ideas pertaining to the strategy; (2) identifying the opportunity in which the strategy is presented, including defining the objective and business environment of the strategy; (4) performing technical analysis pertaining to the strategy; (5) making a final assessment of the feasibility of the strategy; (6) implementing the strategy; (7) reporting the results of the implementation (control); and (8) providing feedback regarding the execution of the strategy. A method is also provided for providing, accessing and using the structured process. The method can be implemented using computer technology by storing the information regarding the structured process in a database and using a computer (or network or computers) to access and utilize the information. The computer may include an output device for presenting information regarding the status of the structured process, including an indication of the level of completion of each principal step. |
