Your goal this week is to practice building informed, supported, business strategy at the C-suite level. Strategy is not merely brain storming, storytelling, or creative narrative. In the Baldrige Excellence Framework strategy requires Action Plan development that is based on tools like strategy mapping, action plan development, and deployment plans. The foundation you will be developing should include practicing:
Strategy mapping
P.E.S.T. analysis
Porters Five Forces
Key Success Factors
Stakeholder analysis
These tools, lead from strategic planning to tactical planning and validating your plan.
It would be an exceptionally good idea in the discussion to use your Playbook company as the organization for which you are planning strategy. Pick a REAL and current area of strategy improvement that your company is facing, based on your past posts, and develop at LEAST two of the tools you will need to include in your Week 7 assignment:
Strategy mapping
P.E.S.T. analysis
Porters Five Forces
Key Success Factors
Stakeholder analysis
You can then develop the remaining ones in writing your assignment and include ALL of these in the Appendix of your Week 7 post. Work hard AND smart this week.
