Riassunto

Strategic Planning and Performance Measurement: Develop & Measure a Winning Strategy, provides a clear and concise roadmap for designing, implementing and measuring strategy. The focus is on strategic factors, which are defined in a unique way as the criteria on which an organization or business unit has to do well in order to succeed.

For organizations to be successful, they must take a stakeholder perspective of their performance - stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, employees and owners. The book cites many case studies including: 7-Eleven, Roche, K-mart, McDonald's, Levi Strauss, Accor Hotels, Gallo Wines, Daimler Chrysler, Sears Roebuck, Mont Blanc, Tag Heuer, Lexus, Semco, Bright Horizons, Burns Philp, Scania Trucks and British Airways.

This book provides a quantum leap forward in improving organizational performance. Management practitioners across the globe will find immediate and practical applications of its methods.

Strategic Planning and Performance Management: Develop & Measure a Winning Strategy shows how to:

· Make strategic management simple yet highly effective
· Integrate strategic analysis, strategy formulation and performance measurement
· Compete in three ways - Scale, Scope and Structure and write these 3 S's of Strategy to gain a competitive edge
· Evaluate organization outcomes effectively
· Implement strategy and measurement throughout an organization.

Recensione:

"I find the framework presented by Graham Kenny to be a better alternative to the Kaplan and Norton "balanced scorecard" approach to strategic management. While this book provides a similar means to formulate a multidimensional game plan and scorecard, it does so in a way that allows for greater flexibility to design a custom strategy and implementation plan most appropriate for any unique organization. The practical advice and useful examples presented throughout make for a compelling and enlightening read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book."
