Strategy Development and Deployment

A strategy outlines the long-term direction of an organization and determine how resources should be allocated to satisfy shareholders, customers, employees, and communities in order to realize sustainable competitive advantage. Whether it is a macro corporate strategy or one that is specific to a function, operation, or business unit it is wise to start by analyzing the current state, outline SWOT analysis, examine the market and competitive environment, anticipate changes in the market or industry, and draw a path to a future state outlined in a strategic architecture.
 
In today's environment, change is happening so frequently that a long-term strategy set in stone may not be feasible. Future is very difficult to predict so strategies should be reviewed, updated, and communicated frequently. ​Many strategies fail because of they are not clearly defined, open to interpretation, have incorrect assumptions, not inclusive of different functions or operations, rely on unproven technology, and lack a customer-centric approach. ​They may also set up unrealistic expectations and under estimate the efforts and resources required.
​
The strategy outlines a number of initiatives and changes needed to move the organization from a current to better and brighter future state. Components required to form a successful strategy should include elements related to people, process, technology, and data.
