Thinking Strategically

Taking the time


Why ?

• Strategies are medium to longer term decisive actions

• We spend most of our time at a tactical and/or operational level

Most managers need to spend more time thinking and planning at a strategic level –

Strategic SWOT Process

1. Clearly define the entity/issue under review and the context of the analysis

2. Brainstorm competitive SWOT factors

3. Develop Action Statements to:– Maximise Strengths– Minimise Weaknesses– Use Strengths to exploit Opportunities– Use Strengths to overcome Threats– Protect where Weaknesses & Threats combine

4. Pareto & Action Plan


SWOT Tips

• Be Strategic – Is this competitive? Real?

• No more than 7 items in each category

• Ask the hard questions

• Strengths & Weaknesses are internal

• Opps & Threats are external factors acting upon the entity/issue under examination – not the actions that you would take.


Exercise

1.Complete a SWOT Analysis of your area of the business

2.What actions would you take as a result of this analysis?

3.Group and prioritise the Actions

4.Summarise this into a One Page Plan

Measuring Performance

Setting KPIs


What to measure?

• Performance measurement is often difficult as it is often not easy to define

• There are usually 2 types of measures:1. Lead Indicators – timely, simple, indicative

2. Lag Measures – concrete, complex, too late

• Usually need to measure Outcomes (Lag) and Activity (Lead)
