Every business needs a clear strategy. It also needs the capability to implement that strategy throughout the organization.

Organizations of all sizes, at any phase of growth, must observe a simple but often missed distinction between strategy content and strategy process. Strategy content defines what your organization needs to do; strategy process is implementation. 

Our inter-connected world provides businesses many opportunities to know its markets and its customers.

Companies that think strategically know how to gather that data and build a base of market knowledge.
