Strategy: You got one?

Well... have you?

In business 'strategy' essentially delineates what you're about. It's the key piece of the jigsaw that helps you put the rest of your business together.

It doesn't have to be hugely complicated or extensively detailed, just quietly ambitious while remaining achievable.

For many businesses, a strategy doesn't exist, however there are implied values and aims which have become engrained in their everyday activity. Other organisations may have a 'mission statement' or a philosophy which governs the way they run their business.

Whatever the case, the most important thing to be remember is: if you don't know what you're doing, how do you expect anyone else to?! In business, that can mean customers, clients, media, staff... to mention a few.
