From Strategic Planning to Strategic Positioning
Strategic planning has historically served as an essential tool for organizational development and management. However, in today's complex and competitive environment, the traditional strategic plan often is not enough. Organizations interested in going to the next level will want to consider strategic positioning. Strategic positioning enhances traditional strategic planning by incorporating a more externally-focused and constituent-centered analysis. The positioning process goes beyond simply defining goals and objectives - it clarifies the organization's niche within its sphere of influence and in relation to the competition and its constituents. From Strategic Planning to Strategic Positioning outlines not only the reasons why organizations should consider positioning but also explains how to go about incorporating positioning into the strategic planning process.
