Business strategy is concerned with identifying the future direction of the organisation. A realistic and engaging vision should be provided to stakeholders. The strategy should also provide a number of goals and objectives for the organisation, as well as indicating how they should be achieved.

Inevitably, strategy involves decision making. Decision making is easier if the potential options are identified and assessed early on. These options may relate to the strategic goals, their benefits, or the ways in which the goals can be achieved. This approach allows the most appropriate options to be selected, allowing the decision making to be clearer and easier.

Once the strategy has been decided, it must be made available to stakeholders. This should be promoted, and advertised, by a variety of means, including briefings, documents and other communications methods. For ambitious, or long term strategies, the vision must be managed appropriately. This will ensure the vision is understood, as well as highlighting the interim goals, tasks and objectives required to achieve the vision.

Case Study

A telecommunications company wished to provide a Broadband (ADSL) internet service for its customers.

Migrators consultants arranged workshops to identify the key aspects required for the broadband service, as well as the elements that would be required to support the service. An initial schedule was prepared showing key objectives, timescales, resources and costs for the main elements of the service. Based on the schedule, options were developed to show which elements would be provided by the telecoms company and which could be outsourced.

This approach simplified the decision making and made it more open. The approach also ensured the key goals and objectives were identified, enabling the strategic vision to be prepared. Initial communications campaigns were prepared to manage stakeholders initial expectations.
