Strategic Management

Strategy is essential for creating business value and achieving the goals of any organization. It is generally established as a broad plan to reach strategic objectives. However, the most crucial aspects of successful strategies are often specific and define measurable metrics used to evaluate their implementation. The typical stages of the strategic management process include setting the organization's mission and goals, discussing strategic alternatives, developing the strategic plan, implementing the agreed strategy, and monitoring its execution.

The complexity of the modern world necessitates well-defined and carefully developed strategies. With increasing interdependence, an overwhelming number of stakeholders, and vast information sources, organizations require a structured plan to navigate an ever-changing landscape. The role of a strong strategy in creating shareholder value has never been more critical.
