A company’s true value is largely determined by its long-term performance potential as shaped by management’s decisions made today. These decisions guide the translation of the company’s mission, its purpose for existing, into the products and services it provides and hopefully the market wants.
Strategic planning is an iterative, ongoing process consisting of:
Analysis: assessment of the internal and external factors effecting the organization’s ability to achieve its mission
Alternative Development: detailed assessment of the costs, benefits, and risks associated with strategic alternatives including both major, ongoing and newly proposed activities
Alternative Selection: identification of the current portfolio components and proposed activities that will be pursued and the time frame for execution
Resource Projections: aggregation of the personnel, financial, physical, and technological needs including an assessment of the ability to acquire these resources within the needed time frame
Plan Development: final validation of the organization’s mission and compilation and approval of its long-range and annual business plans
Execution of these iterative processes takes place throughout the year with a frequency dictated by the pace of market change.
Focus of the Strategic Planning Forum
This forum will focus on the principles, best practices, and warning flags associated with the leading practices of companies that successfully execute strategic planning processes to define objectives, drive alignment, and enhance performance. The following articles, podcasts, documents, and resources cover those topics critical to an exceptional strategic planning program.
Performance measures serve to align an organization’s efforts to the achievement of its mission. As part of a company’s evaluation and control program, they quantifiably monitor important characteristics of the company’s products and services and the performance of the individuals and processes creating them. Performance measures support managerial decision-making by providing useful information regarding:
how efficient and effective are the company’s processes and the individuals implementing them
if product or service improvements are necessary
if the company’s customers and stakeholders are satisfied
if the company is meeting its stated goals
Performance measures best serve an organization when they are understandable, broadly applicable, uniformly interpreted, and economic to apply. They should cascade through and organization’s hierarchy such that achievement of lower tiered performance goals support higher tiered goals that in turn ultimately support achievement of the company’s mission.
