# Create and edit strategic themes

Once the vision for your organisation is defined, we systematically decompose that vision into **strategic themes**. **Themes** are realised through **strategic goals** and the achievement of these strategic goals are measured by the **benefits** and are delivered through projects, programs and portfolios.  
 

To create and maintain strategic themes:

**Define a strategic theme**

1.  Ensure you are in **Strategy** and click **Themes** in the **Strategy** section.  
     
2.  Click **\+ New** from the command bar.  
     
3.  Fill in the **Name field.**  
      
    **Important:** It is mandatory and it should be clear and concise to help users identify the theme in screens, reports, and dashboards.  
     
4.  Complete the remaining fields in the **Details pane.**  
     
5.  Click **Save & Close** to save the new Theme.  
     

**Updating a strategic theme**

1.  Ensure you are in **Strategy**, click **Themes** in the **Strategy** section.  
     
2.  Find and select the **Theme** you wish to update in the list.  
     
3.  Click on the appropriate theme from the list.  
     
4.  Update appropriate fields and select **Save & Close.**
