Strategy development methodology
Strategy development process starts out from the company’s current state, but it is considered as a starting point, not as a limiting factor. Current state contains external factors on the one hand, like macro-economic environment of the company, relevant market trends, competitors and partners, on the other hand, the company’s internal features. Management aims to achieve a target state from the current position, which meets the expectations of the owners.
In order to understand the external factors and internal features, we prepare researches and make interviews with the leaders and the employees of the company, survey relevant documentation, and review activities and results of the past few years. We identify those key issues upon which ones corporate strategy can be built in such a way to support the achievement of corporate objectives.
Corporate strategy can be detailed to functional strategies, which focus on some key areas and assist to achieve the corporate goals and to improve performance.
