Digital organizations today have to balance many things: Speed and stability, creativity and process, centralization and decentralization, simplicity and complexity.
Strategy and tactics are related, with every tactical decision ideally contributing to broader strategic objectives.
Steps to achieve this balance of big picture & tactical practices:
-Strategic planning: Strategic planning defines the organization's purpose, establishes realistic goals, and communicates these to everyone involved.
-Leadership commitment: Committed leadership is essential for strategic planning and continuous change.
-Cultural support: A supportive organizational culture is also needed.
-Structural support: An established structure for managing implementation is required.
-Inclusive participation: Organizational members should participate in the planning process.
-Operations research: Operations research can assist in developing explicit strategies to improve the quality of tactical decisions, ensuring they contribute to long-run goals.
Key aspects of leadership in strategic planning: Leadership plays a vital role in strategic planning by providing commitment, direction, and the ability to manage continuous change. Strategic planning establishes an organization's direction, concentrates resources on a limited number of objectives, and ensures members work toward the same goals.
-Defining purpose: Strategic planning clearly defines the organization’s purpose and establishes realistic goals and objectives.
-Communication: Leaders communicate goals and objectives to the organization’s constituents.
-Creating ownership: Strategic planning develops a sense of ownership of the plan.
-Effective resource use: It ensures the most effective use of the organization’s resources by focusing them on key priorities.
-Measuring progress: Strategic planning provides a base from which progress can be measured and establishes a mechanism for informed change when needed.
-Adapting to change: Committed leadership is essential for strategic planning and continuous change, along with a supportive organizational culture and an established structure for managing implementation.
Interdependence: Strategy and tactics are inseparable in action. Tactics and strategy are related concepts where tactics involve techniques for leveraging forces in an engagement. Strategy, on the other hand, harmonizes operations with political purposes. Every tactical decision involves a strategic choice, whether conscious or not. Operations research can assist in developing explicit strategies to improve the quality of tactical decisions, ensuring they contribute to long-run goals. The longer the effect of a decision, the larger the portion of the system affected, and the more concerned a decision is with selecting goals, the more strategic it is.
Strategy all starts with the awareness that there is a holistic perspective to business that is all-encompassing, and then there are separate, intertwined parts of the puzzle: tactical practices. Digital organizations today have to balance many things: Speed and stability; creativity and process; centralization and decentralization; simplicity and complexity; building and purchasing; strategic focus and operational excellence; thinking, learning and doing; the best practices based on old experience and the next practices via the new way to do things, etc, with the goals to achieve high performance results.
