Framework for Current State Assessment and Strategic Direction PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide Strategic Analysis Framework PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured approach to assessing the current state of a business, emphasizing 3 sequential components essential for a thorough analysis. The first component involves summarizing current performance, which is critical for identifying existing issues within the organization. This step requires an evaluation of performance metrics or portfolio matrices to determine if there are significant problems and, if so, to clarify their nature.

The second component focuses on projecting expected performance based on the current strategy. This involves forecasting future outcomes and assessing whether the company will encounter new challenges if the existing strategy remains unchanged. It encourages the development of a "most likely" scenario for the industry, allowing for a dynamic analysis of potential external changes that could impact performance.

The final component is about formulating a rationale for action. This step is crucial as it guides decision-making regarding strategic direction and the appropriate method for solution analysis. It prompts executives to consider broad strategic options and select a suitable analytical approach, such as Net Present Value (NPV) or a multi-goal framework. The solution analysis then seeks to explore the best ways to tackle identified issues.

This structured methodology not only provides clarity on the current state, but also equips leaders with the necessary insights to make informed strategic decisions. By following these steps, organizations can better understand their challenges and opportunities, ultimately leading to more effective solutions.
