The 5 points above resonates with me. One of the things that I have picked up and found helpful for a strategy doc is to have an Intent summary at the top - from friends in the military, I have heard it called the commander's intent. The idea is that when on a mission, even if the best-laid plans go up in smoke, this understanding of the intent helps the team make the right tactical choices given the reality of the situation. Only if everyone truly understands the commander's intent are they able to make the right decisions in crunch situations. Similarly, if you can't honestly explain the intent of the new strategy to your team, your customers might not experience the new strategy as intended across all touch points.
