Evaluating Strategic Options: Key Questions and Risks PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 97-slide Business Planning Process - A Complete Guide PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured overview of strategic planning, focusing on evaluating a company's options. It outlines the definition of strategic options, key questions that need addressing, and a risk/reward map for various strategic choices.

The left section defines strategic options as derived from future industry scenarios. This includes objectives, strategies, and initiatives that are essential for guiding the company’s trajectory. It highlights the implications these options have for the existing business and identifies critical success factors that must be considered. This foundational understanding is crucial for executives as it sets the stage for informed decision-making.

The central part of the slide lists key questions that the company must answer to effectively evaluate its strategic options. Questions revolve around criteria for measuring options, the influence of these options on the business model, and the company’s readiness to adapt to changes. It also probes into necessary core competencies, the feasibility of organic growth, and whether the current investment in growth aligns with strategic objectives. These inquiries are vital for ensuring that the chosen path aligns with the company's long-term vision.

On the right, the risk/reward map visually represents different strategic options, allowing for a comparative analysis of potential outcomes. Each option is plotted based on its associated risk and expected reward, providing a clear framework for assessing which strategies may yield the best results. This visual tool aids in prioritizing options and facilitates discussions among management.

Overall, the slide serves as a comprehensive guide for executives to navigate the complexities of strategic planning, ensuring that all relevant factors are considered before making critical decisions.
