Introduction
The strategy is an integral part of every organization’s management model. It is through the implementation of strategy, organizations can achieve their vision, mission, goals, and objectives.
Strategic Management is the utilization of key knowledge, skills, techniques, and tools to achieve the organizations’ goals. The aim of strategic management is to provide the organization a well-researched, documented blueprint for the management of the strategic planning cycle. Organizations that perform with the best outcomes usually have strong strategic planning processes, and the management is well trained and experienced in ensuring strategic planning and implementation are in place.
Strategic management involves the processes that are needed to reach the strategic planning phase. It ensures that management has the best information to develop a strategic plan that has the most likelihood of success. Risk management, dynamic planning, change management, milestone measurements, action plans, gap reviews, etc. are some important aspects to be kept in mind when developing a strategic plan.
