Strategy

The Need for Smart Strategy
An excerpt from a book by Professor John R. Wells

In challenging economic times, strategy is more important than ever. Today, most companies lack the resources—and their investors lack the tolerance—to meander from one isolated short-term initiative to the next. Organizations must have clear and attainable longer-term goals that integrate and drive their initiatives, as well as shrewd and adaptable strategies for achieving them. Learn about the importance of strategic intelligence, and how the effective formulation and implementation of strategy can help your company achieve superior sustainable performance.
