Why do companies need to be effective in company strategy development and implementation?
What are the characteristics of ScottMadden’s company strategy development and implementation?
Action-oriented
Strategy should be action-oriented, and it should reflect a clear understanding of the current market context, the opportunities, and the company’s plans. It should also be constantly considered, often adjusted in smalls ways, and occasionally adjusted in large ways, even without a crisis.
Tailored Approaches
Effective development and implementation of strategy will look different for different organizations, which can use varied frameworks, data, analytical tools, and organizational concepts. The approach must fit the company and the market situation, but an effective approach will always:
- Enhance the collective understanding of the company, describing the current environment and where the business really adds value
- Develop a shared perspective on the future, identifying the most important and likely scenarios that matter to the business and what to do about them
- Engage the board of directors, both to take advantage of their experience and expertise and to ensure their support
- Align senior management and the board on the strategic direction, capturing and sharing the leadership priorities
- Commit to the strategic initiatives that will bring the strategy to life, including resourcing, sequencing, and progress monitoring
