my ideal time management system

GTD, with a few wrinkles:
  centered around projects,
    which are faceted,
    can be broken down into tasks (next actions), 
        which are organized into contexts
        and placed in relationships to other users of the system
          (team members, supervisors, etc.)

Normal GTD, I feel,
   is too reactive:
   I need a system that not only captures,
      but also prioritizes,
      and lets me see not only the nitty-gritty
   but also the big picture.

I need to know not only what I have to do,
   but how those things relate to each other.
Only with that knowledge can I hope to be proactive,
   to spend my time wisely,
   to anticipate problems before they occur.

Will you build my system for me?
Or does it already exist
  and I just don't know it yet.

Ideally, I would want something that works with Outlook,
  because I'm stuck with Outlook for the time being.
But in the future, the sky's the limit. 
  (Keeping in mind affordability, of course.)
