This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Galbraith Star Model PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the concept of strategy within an organizational context. It is structured into 3 main sections: Description, Purpose, and Impact.
The Description section outlines the fundamental aspects of strategy. It emphasizes that strategy encompasses the goals and objectives of the organization, alongside its core values and mission. This section establishes that strategy serves as the guiding direction for the company, shaping its overall approach to achieving success.
In the Purpose section, the slide elaborates on the specific functions of strategy. It highlights the importance of delineating the products or services offered, identifying target markets, and articulating the value proposition for customers. This section also discusses the necessity of establishing criteria for selecting among various organizational forms, which inherently involves making trade-offs. Additionally, it points out the need to identify essential activities, thereby laying the groundwork for informed decision-making regarding resource allocation and prioritization.
The Impact section focuses on the practical implications of a well-defined strategy. It notes the emergence of matrix organizations, where multiple activities must be executed concurrently without impeding one another. This reflects a shift in organizational thinking, where the focus is on integrating efforts rather than making exclusive choices. The slide concludes by underscoring the importance of adopting a mindset that embraces both/and scenarios, rather than either/or decisions.
Overall, the slide succinctly captures the essence of strategy as a foundational element for organizational success, emphasizing its role in guiding decisions and shaping operational frameworks.
