Do You Make These Mistakes When Setting Strategy?
Major organisations always take the time to set a long term strategy. However, creating a successful strategy is tougher than it seems.
Are you or your organisation making any of the following mistakes?
- Not being crystal clear about your purpose.
- Not having a clear vision for the organisation.
- Failing to get clear on what the organisation stands for in terms of values.
- Not effectively assessing the internal and external environment in which the organisation operates.
- Relying on a one or two day senior management away day or offsite meeting to come up with the strategy.
- Not involving different people at different levels of the organisation in the process.
- Seeing strategy as a task and finish exercise rather than a process.
- Not identifying the strategic initiatives that underpin the achievement of the vision and mission.
