Understanding, Creating, and Implementing Your Strategy
Strategic Renewal or Business as Usual?
How does your organization plan to ensure that each member is working toward the same goals, in addition to assessing and adjusting the organization’s direction in response to your rapidly changing environment? This is what “strategy” is about—making an informed and disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what your organization is, what you do, and why you do it, with a focus on the future.
The process is strategic because it involves preparing the best way to respond to the circumstances of your organization's environment, whether or not the circumstances are known in advance. Organizations often must respond to dynamic and even hostile environments. Being strategic, then, involves being clear about your organization's objectives, being aware of your organization’s resources, and incorporating both into being consciously responsive to a dynamic environment.
However strategic your organization’s plan may be, this must be complemented by a goals-oriented management in which the mission and planned achievements of your organization are clearly set out and all management processes are designed and monitored toward reaching your overall goals. In a nutshell, strategic planning and management is about intentionally setting goals, developing and maintaining an ongoing process of order and pattern to keep your organization focused and productive.
From Tactical Troubleshooting to Strategic Decision Making:
Resolving organizational issues involves intentionally setting goals (i.e., choosing a desired future) and developing an approach to achieving those goals. Strategic planning and management is about fundamental decisions and actions about what to do, why to do it, and how to do it. Because it is impossible to do everything that needs to be done in this world, strategic planning and management implies that some organizational decisions and actions are more important than others—and that much of the strategy lies in making the tough decisions about what is most important to achieving organizational success.This is precisely why SK is Nigeria’s gold standard in organizational issue resolution.
