Strategic Communication Roles and Responsibilities Overview Role of SMO in Scorecard Management Process Strategic Management Office: Annual Integration Framework

The Strategy Management Office (SMO), also referred sometimes as the Office of Strategy Management (OSM), is the team responsible for managing the Corporate Strategy of the organization.

The ultimate role to execute Strategy lies with the line managers and employees, but without a core command and coordination office (i.e. the SMO), Strategy is either skipped from key processes or the processes are ineffectual across business units, causing poor Strategy execution.
