The creation of a Strategy without the leadership to accomplish it is worthless. When you “Do It”, Strategy becomes “Operational”, it becomes the Organization’s Mission.
The organization has defined:
Markets,
Customers,
Products,
Competition,
Strengths, and
Weaknesses
Goal: The “How of the Organization” – The object of a course of action, specific goals to be worked toward.
Goals must be:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistically High
Timely
The time scale is usually twelve to eighteen months. The Mission’s goals align with the short to intermediate term “Strategic Plan” known as the “Business Plan”.
Annual Goals are broken down into manageable Quarterly goals resulting in 30/60/90 day priorities.
The “Who, What and When of the Organization “
Action Steps: The “Who, What and When of the Organization “ – This is the actual activity performed by the people of your organization, obstacles are identified, solutions developed and implemented to achieve the goals.
