Structured pursuit of an aim

Is there an English word that denotes the structured and deliberate pursuit of a course of action in order to achieve a goal?


Solution 1:

You could go for plan of action - An organized programme of measures to be taken in order to achieve a goal. [Oxford Dictionaries]

Or alternatively, Oxford Dictionaries gives the words campaign and attack on the same page.
