While some variations exist, most in the strategic planning field essentially consider strategy to be the specific plans developed to meet the organization’s mission and goals. At NuStratis, we define it as:

“The competitive moves and business approaches devised to produce successful business performance.”

Together with our clients leadership, we segment the strategy into the following phases:

Formulation - This phase develops the specific objectives and action plans to accomplish the goals. This stage defines WHAT the firm should do.

Implementation - This phase specifies HOW the firm will accomplish the strategic plan developed in the formulation phase.

Control and evaluation - This phase represents an on-going measurement and evaluation of the actions with respect to the objectives developed during the formulation phase. In addition, constant monitoring of the environment and evaluation of environmental activity against the original formulation should provide valuable insight into necessary modifications or reformulations.

The strategy must not only be well developed, but effectively implemented. There have been far too many examples in the past of companies developing what appeared to be a great strategy, only to find themselves seriously disappointed in the results. In most of those cases these companies thought the job was essentially complete once the strategy was developed, and they paid little attention to implementation and control. Proper implementation is an essential part of strategic management, and often given far too little attention. With effective strategy, it is critical to both develop specific deployment plans to implement the strategy. It is also equally important to develop both organization structures to effectively support the strategy and specific measures to reinforce the actions.

Sample Tool Set:

• Market Analysis
• SWOT Analysis
• PEST Analysis

At NuStratis, we know that time is a critical element in the formulation, implementation, control, and evaluation of any strategic plan. This is why our skilled consultants will work with all levels of the organization to make sure the culture and infrastructure is ready to move forward.

During the last two decades, NuStratis consultants have worked with our clients in assessing opportunities throughout the organization. Our philosophy in assessing organizations is based on the idea that business areas depend on each other to successfully accomplish their tasks. For this reason, we look at the organization holistically and not in fragments. The ultimate goals is to identify the gaps, whatever they are, and size the opportunity or business impact.

Our approach to operational excellence is by working with our clients to develop a set of standards the entire organization will be committed to. At NuStratis, Operational Excellence is about doing everything to the best of our ability. This includes senior leadership, the technician lubricating the equipment, the customer service representative talking to the customer, the clerk opening the mail, everyone in the organization. It also means making hard decisions when we know it is the right thing to do. Operational Excellence is not easy to accomplish but commitment to the cause will achieve it. We have come to the conclusion, after working with over 50 clients, that making the improvements is not the challenge but getting the employees to see the benefits. Sustaining the improvements, in our opinion, will be the hardest thing any company will have to do. At NuStratis, we strive to build relationships with people first. We want to establish a trust factor. We know employees have the greatest knowledge about improving processes. Our job is to utilize simple but effective lean six sigma tools to translate employees’ ideas to improvements and improvements to sustainable bottom line results.
