Background

Strategy is a plan towards achieving a specific goal or long term goal using specific means or conditions. Strategy generally involves, setting goals and priorities, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions. In an organization, the strategy helps to achieve an advantage for the organization through its configuration of resources within a challenging environment, to meet the needs of the market and fulfil stakeholder expectations. To achieve the strategy, an organization must have strategic objectives which guide them.

Strategy objectives are the end goal that describes what the company will do to fulfil its mission. They are like performance goals. For example, launching new products, increasing profitability or venture into a new market.

Companies have different activities which help them to align in achieving strategic objectives. Some of these activities include:

• Creating an inclusive planning process where all the team members take part and air their opinions and ideas.
• Having a good information flow. That is, from management to the lower-level employees and vice versa.
• Having open communication within the team. This enables everyone to understand his key priority, values, contribution, objective and role in achieving some of the strategic objectives.
• Analyzing data to get an understanding of where the organization is currently and where it’s going in achieving the set goals.
• Having key performance indicators(KPI) help in monitoring the performance of the strategic objectives. This contributes and monitoring how the objectives are performing in terms of teamwork and sales.

The strategy analyzer model will help organizations to monitor strategy objectives for their competitors. Through this, organizations can tune their strategies to stay ahead of their competitors and help them in planning.
