The Business Strategy Audit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780955970740)

How well does your corporate strategy work - for your company as a whole, and for individual business units? If it fails in some areas - which ones? And why? How good is your strategy-making process at gathering information and opinions, and at delivering strategies that win support and deliver growth?

This self-assessment audit comes in three parts:

* First, a 3-step audit to give you a clear, objective picture of the 'business environment' market, competitor and financial realities. (Of course, this information is already available to you - but probably not in a form that is tailored to help you shape and realign your overall business strategy.)

* Second, a 7-step organisational assessment. This enables you to:

o Clarify your company's existing strategy. Measure its viability and robustness

o Outline business processes

o Determine capabilities

o Determine appropriate organisation design and resource allocation

o Assess the company culture o Integrate all these elements of the organisation assessment

* Third, the tools you need to develop a framework within which to create an appropriate and flexible strategy for the future.
