Organisation Strategy

A company?s strategy consists of the competitive moves and business approaches that managers are employing to grow the business, attract and please customers, compete successfully, conduct operations, and achieve the targeted levels of organisational performance.

Mobilising the full complement of company resources in a total team effort behind good execution of the chosen strategy and achievement of the targeted performance allows a company to operate at full power.

To understand how the activities in your team or section or department align with the overall strategy of the organisation, you also must understand the purpose of standard operating procedures, as well as the goals for your team/section/department and the activities you must undertake to achieve these goals and objectives. You also must know what performance outcomes, key performance objectivists, key performance activities and outputs are.

You must communicate the role of the team in the overall strategy of the organisation to your team/section/department. Your team members must be able to give you feedback about their area of responsibility and how it relates to the overall strategy of the organisation, as well as their progress in carrying out their activities required to meet the objectives of the team and thereby complying to the overall strategy of the organisation.
