STRATEGIC FACTORS: DEVELOP AND MEASURE WINING STRATEGY
by Graham Kenny
The book's focus is how to develop strategies for an organisation or business unit and then track them via effective key performance indicators (KPI's).
|
Here’s the book that shows how strategic factors lie at the heart of organisational success - in private and public, profit and non-profit, manufacturing and service sectors. They apply to organisations as a whole and to business units.
Kenny demonstrates via numerous examples from the full range of industries how the identification of key stakeholders is the essential starting point to developing winning strategy and effective performance measures. He establishes that strategic factors dwell in an organisation's or business unit's relationship with its key stakeholders and shows how a clear understanding of them puts an organisation ahead of its competitors. With a distinctive and powerful approach to key strategy concepts such as competitive advantage, value, differentiation and positioning, Kenny demonstrates quite clearly how the fatal flaw for many organisations and business units has been their inability to define competitive advantage around strategic factors. Unique too is the manner in which leading indicators of performance are founded on strategic factors and predict results on objectives. Linking all key performance indicators to strategy, as the book does, produces a highly effective system for tracking strategic success. |
