  Before diving into the specifics & tools of Strategic Management, it is essential to recognize the various types of strategies that organizations can adopt. These strategies are typically shaped by the organization’s goals, available resources, industry dynamics, and the broader market environment. In many cases, strategies can be implemented in a conjunctional or hierarchical manner, where broader, overarching strategies cascade down into more specific, functional or departmental str ategies. Broadly, these organizational strategies can be categorized as follows: 1. Corporate Strategies Corporate strategies focus on the overall scope and direction of the organization. These strategies determine where the company competes and how it manages its business units. Examples: Growth Strategy : Expanding the company through market penetration, market development, product development, or diversification. Example : A tech firm launching new software prod...

  We started the Strategy Capsules series over a month ago with the goal of simplifying how you can start, modify, or critique an organizational strategy. Initially, we looked at strategy through the lens of external consultants—meeting clients who believe they have the perfect winning strategy but can’t seem to make it work. Now, we’re continuing the series with a book that outlines a structured approach to developing, implementing, and improving organizational strategies. We will delve into these chapters and tools one by one with the aim to simplify these practices and help every stakeholder to be part of their organization development. Strategic Management- A Competitive Advantage Approach by Fred R. David and Forest R. David book provides a comprehensive, actionable framework for understanding, formulating, implementing, and evaluating strategies across industries. Widely adopted by academics, business leaders, and consultants, this book equips readers with the tools and i...

  When a strategy is laid out and a plan for implementation is in place, the immediate focus of management often shifts to how to convey the seriousness of their commitment to achieving target results. They emphasize overcoming obstacles, regardless of the excuses they might hear from their teams or middle management. However, this urgency can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, such as resistance from employees or managers. A common reaction is to remove dissenting voices and promote younger, more adaptable individuals who appear eager to embrace change. While this may seem like the right approach, especially when resistance stems from complacent leaders unwilling to grow, it also carries risks. Those resisting might be among the most loyal, knowledgeable, and insightful employees who genuinely believe the strategy is flawed, rigid, or poorly tailored to the organization's context. Ignoring such feedback could undermine the overall success of the strategy. In Good Strat...

Leadership plays a pivotal role in transforming an organization’s strategy from ineffective to impactful. According to Richard Rumelt’s Good Strategy/Bad Strategy , a good strategy requires a clear diagnosis, a guiding policy, and coherent actions. Yet, moving from a bad strategy to a good one demands more than just a framework; it requires leadership to inspire, plan, execute, and sustain change. As we are not aiming to delve into the treats of leadership team or how to differentiate between manager and leader, we are here only focused on what leadership team should do to ensure the strategy is actively and correctively transformed to action plans and executed accordingly This article outlines how leadership can initiate the transition, design a clear roadmap, enforce the new strategy, and measure performance to make course corrections when necessary. 1. Initiating the Change: Setting the Tone and Vision Leadership must first recognize the presence of a bad strategy and crea...
