Strategy determines what you must do to make your organization successful, given your talent and the forces in the external environment that work for and against you. To develop strategy, you must become clear about where you are now, where you need to go, and how you will get there.
- Where you are now comes from clarifying your organization's mission - the one unique reason it exists in the first place. It also comes from a frank identification of the organization's internal strengths and weaknesses and how these interact with shifts taking place in the organization's external environment.
- "If we don't change what we're doing now, where will we end up five years from now, and is that acceptable?" Usually, exploring this question will yield the vision of the future you need to work toward.
- Your strategy is the set of specific approaches you identify to get you from where you are now to the future you envision.
