Strategy Development
Strategic Clarity – 4 key questions
What system do you use to formulate corporate and departmental strategies and continuously develop them further?
How do you strengthen the strategic competence of your lower management levels?
How do you align the supporting functional strategies and dovetail them consistently with each other and with the corporate and divisional strategy?
How do you enable the organization to translate the strategic requirements into target hierarchies and packages of measures appropriate to the level?
