Strategy development begins with understanding your organization, its environment, and how to translate insight into long-term objectives aligned with your mission and vision.
This is accomplished by understanding the organization, its mission, vision, and core values; understanding the organization's needs, pain points, objectives, and available results; and understanding how assessments are performed. Strategy Gate helps organizations acquire knowledge related to the organization's main purpose and to educate the Change Team about the assessment model.
An organization should understand the external environment in which it operates, its own internal strengths and weaknesses, and how the internal and external factors can best be combined to create a competitive advantage. There are various assessment tools — such as SWOT analysis, PESTLE analysis, 7S, and others. Strategy Gate helps organizations select the appropriate tool(s) for assessment.
An organization's strategy defines what it strives to become and the means by which it will achieve it. Strategy Gate proposes a framework that guides an organization's choices that determine the nature and direction of an organization.
Strategic objectives are one of the fundamental building blocks of your strategic plan. They are long-term and should be aligned with your organization's mission and vision across four perspectives: Benefit; Stakeholder & Service; Capability; and POTI (Process, Organization, Technology, and Information). Strategy Gate helps organizations come up with their strategic objectives based on strategic themes.
