Research and Organization Management Information

Organizations exist to turn data into decisions. Over 80% of strategies fail, mostly because they lack the needed elements of a strategy. Most are based on concepts developed decades ago for different types of companies in a different economy. Nonprofits often craft strategies based on concepts fundamentally inappropriate for their needs. Every strategy needs to answer four questions: 1. "Who are we?" Answered through Organizational Diagnostics 2. "Where are we going?" Answered by Strategy Formation 3. "How do we get there?" Answered by Business Models 4. "How will we know?" Answered by Performance Management You can avoid traps of traditional strategy (e.g., the concept of "planning") by understanding how organizations, markets, technology, culture, and agility mechanisms work together.
