Strategic Domain-driven Design
Ideally, we would prefer to have a single, unified model. While this is a noble goal, in reality it always fragments into multiple models. It is more useful to recognize this fact of life and work with it.
Strategic Design is a set of principles for maintaining model integrity, distillation of the Domain Model and working with multiple models.

Famous quotes containing the words strategic and/or design:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
