Turbulent times create a threat for the survival of organizations while also offering new opportunities. This book uses many examples to demonstrate how an improved strategic management approach, leveraging established management concepts in conjunction with the innovative technology solutions offered by business intelligence, can lead to improved results. The book presents the three main barriers to an effective strategy execution and how they can be overcome. Creating a shared understanding of the strategy on all levels of the organization using a Value ScorecardTM and following the Strategic Alignment ProcessTM enables organizations to measure and monitor performance.
