The story
of strategy

Strategy clarification and inspiring strategic story telling help employees to see the big picture. Then the strategy literally makes sense and motivates performance. For this purpose, important strategic goals from different perspectives are logically linked and articulated in a coherent “story of strategy”. This unites different points of view and focuses attention on the most important strategic topics, which is particularly important today due to the high level of uncertainty, resource scarcity, and sometimes polarizing world views.
The effective integration of business, functional and regional strategies is critical for successful strategy execution. Only then does a common strategic orientation emerge. Systematic strategy alignment helps employees to develop their own strategy contributions. Personal business priorities are aligned with what is strategically desired from a corporate perspective. This reduces friction losses, enhances a performance culture, and promotes self-efficacy in achieving set goals. Combined with key performance indicators, strategic action programs, and contemporary control and management systems, this creates a strategy-focused and at the same time adaptable organization.
