Strategy
What is Strategy?
Strategy is a word of military origin so it seems appropriate to quote from Sun Tzu’s Art of War – ‘In peace prepare for war, in war prepare for peace’. Strategy is about planning your next move, understanding the trends and reacting to opportunities early.
What is the purpose of Strategy?
A Strategy’s purpose is to prepare for future action over a period of time. By conducting Research and Analysing your macro and micro environment, as well as developing achievable objectives, a realistic Strategy and plan of action can be implemented and achieved. Without understanding the surrounds, the Strategy is simply an idea.
