Editor's Notes
- We define strategy as a portfolio of linked and evolving initiatives that together enhance long-term performance and marketplace value
- Strategic planning is simply an organized method for guiding an organization from where it is to where it wants to be. We can call it alternative futures or apply other terms in vogue but, done properly, it all comes down to moving an organization forward into emerging opportunities. By definition, strategy is from the Greek word strateg(os) , meaning the “art of the general.” National Football League. Teams look forward three – seven years or more Determine competitive environment Develop strategic plan and strategy to counter threats and take advantage of opportunities Acquire quarterback who can execute the team strategy and build the team around him Modify by drafting and trading players to develop team “chemistry”, acquire players to fill gaps and release players with redundant skills The strategic plan provides the resourses to allows players and coaches to develop operational plans for the season and tactical plans for individual games and plays.
- Strategy and operational disconnects A disjointed decision making process creates excessive costs and restricts an organization’s ability to identify, much less capitalize on, hidden or emerging opportunities. Non-integrated systems and inadequate planning and analysis capabilities force managers to make decisions without understanding the complete picture. In place of information, management is forced to use well-educated guesses and assumptions. And results from assumption-based activities can be devastating as each manager makes different assumptions.
- To increase the impact of the strategic planning process, company executives and planning managers must identify and accurately quantify the economic impact of strategic alternatives. Each potential strategic measure or action must consider market, process and financial dynamics, and how these dynamics impact the organization as a whole. This is the Strategic Planning System goal.

- The Bargaining Power of Your Customers When analyzing the power of your customers you are really determining who needs who the most.

Where a less strong customer may simply try to bluff you. In general The greater the number of customers the less commercial power they each have The greater the number of competitors you have the greater your customers negotiating power However, other factors such as the significance of the customer to you or their ability to switch to your competitors also plays a part in determining who has the power.
