Strategy Development and Deployment
A strategy defines an organization's long-term direction and guides resource allocation to meet the needs of shareholders, customers, employees, and communities, aiming for sustainable competitive advantage.
Whether it's a broad corporate strategy or one focused on a specific function, operation, or business unit, it's crucial to start by analyzing the current state, conducting a SWOT analysis, examining the market and competitive landscape, anticipating industry changes, and charting a path to the desired future state.
In today's rapidly changing environment, long-term strategies set in stone are impractical. The future is unpredictable, so strategies must be regularly reviewed, updated, and communicated.
Many strategies fail due to unclear definitions, incorrect assumptions, lack of inclusivity across functions, reliance on unproven technology, and insufficient customer-centric approaches. They may also set unrealistic expectations and underestimate the required efforts and resources.
A strategic architecture outlines the initiatives and changes needed to transition from the current state to an improved future state. Essential components of a successful strategy include people, processes, technology, and data.
