Let’s take a look at how each of these steps ties into the overall strategic management process. Goal Setting The first part of strategic management is to plan and set your goals. Set the short- and long-term goals of the organization and make sure that these are shared with all members of the organization. Explain and share how each member of the team will have an impact on the organization reaching this goal. This will help give each member of the team a sense of purpose and will give their job meaning. Analysis During this stage of the process, it is important to gather as much information and data as possible. This information will be integral to creating your strategy to reach your goals. This step of strategic management entails becoming aware of any issues within the organization and understand all of the needs of the organization. Strategy Formation In this strategic management step, you will use all the intelligence and data you have gathered to formulate the strategy that you will use to reach whatever goal you set. Identify useful resources you have, and also seek out other resources you will need to set up your strategy. Strategy Implementation This is arguably the most important part of the entire strategic management process. At this point, each member of the team should have a clear understanding of the plan and should know how they play a part within it. This is the stage where your strategy is put into action. Strategy Monitoring During this stage, your strategy will already be in play. At this point, you should be managing, evaluating, and monitoring each part of your strategy, and ensuring that it aligns with the end goal. If it does not, this is the time where you would make tweaks and adjustments to strengthen the overall plan. This is the stage where you will track progress and have the opportunity to deal with any unexpected shifts in the strategy.
