More Insight About Why Strategy Really Matters

A Strategy document is the outcome of making multiple decisions that help guide your business to meet its goals.  

This is not a technical paper, it is a document that conveys to key stakeholders (Exec’s, Board, investors) that the technology of the business is under good stewardship and is fully aligned with the business plan and wider corporate goals.

It’s a document that lets you explicitly lay out your plan by using a process to continually break down the component steps needed to meet your goals within operational and financial constraints.

It’s the starting point and guide to all product development, hiring and project activity your team should be conducting to meet the agreed strategy.

By setting out this strategy you will align your Exec teams mates and your department all to be pulling in the same direction.
