Strategic Analysis

Consulting Activities > Strategic Analysis

A strategy is an overall approach, based on an understanding of the broader context in which you function, your own strengths and weaknesses, and the problem you are attempting to address. A strategy gives you a framework within which to work, it clarifies what you are trying to achieve and the approach you intend to use.

 

In today’s highly competitive business environment, budget-oriented planning or forecast-based planning methods despite being necessary they are insufficient to prosper. It is fundamental for an organization to engage in strategy planning that clearly defines objectives and assesses both the internal and external situations to formulate strategy, implement strategy, evaluate the progress and make adjustments as necessary to stay on track. The role of JMN Consulting is to join the team and as an outsider stimulate debate, raise issues and assist in all stages of the strategic planning as depicted in image below:

JMN Consulting will motivate the organization to answer the following questions:

 

• Who are we?

• What capacity do we have / what can we do?

• What problems are we addressing?

• What difference do we want to make?

• Which critical issues must we respond to?

• Where should we allocate our resources?

• What should our priorities be?

 

Only once these questions are answered, is it possible to answer the following:

 

• What should our immediate objective be?

• How should we organise ourselves to

  achieve this objective?

• Who will do what when?
