Strategic Command

Where would we be without strategy? Wars would be lost, economics would be chaos and we’d all be running around like headless chickens! Strategy is a master plan, a grand design, policy, plan or tactic. The world functions due to organization and planning and a business should be no different.

Businesses can benefit from a clear strategy for the following reasons. Business Strategy sets out what needs to be done to meet goals. It can also help with personnel decisions such as hiring and firing and will foster collaborative working between departments as everyone will be working within the guidelines of the business plan. It will define the purpose of the business, it’s products and it’s target market.

Retention of customers is another key factor that will be helped by having a business strategy. Specific guidelines on how to cater to existing customers will ensure that they feel valued and will emphasize how important you view customer service. Therefore, a strong customer service plan will reap benefits and show that you care.

Resource allocation is another area in which a business strategy is useful. This relates to the efficiency of using limited resources so all can operate at maximum capacity. A solid plan in this respect will give you an edge in the market.

Expanding your business will also require a strategy. Budget planning and analysing trends will help you to spot areas of the market yet to be tapped into. If you feel that you do not have the expertise to create a really effective business plan then you could look into using a Strategy Innovation Agency.
