What is MOST and What is GOSPA?

I often find simple, hierarchical frameworks to be good thinking tools and mental models to help me understand and describe a situation. So, what is MOST and what is GOSPA?

What is MOST?
MOST Analysis is a business tool for setting Strategic Direction.
MOST stands for
Mission (or mission statement)
Objectives
Strategies
Tactics

MOST analysis is used to analyze an organization’s internal environment and transform a woolly vision and set of ambitions into realistic, achievable goals.

What is GOSPA?
GOSPA is similar to MOST, but is more clearly project-oriented. GOSPA stands for
Goal
Objectives
Strategy
Plan
Activities (or Actions)

It is a hierarchy that covers project definition, tailoring, planning, and delivery.
