The wrong choices can lead to bankruptcy, whereas the right choices can propel a company to new heights. In this series of blog, I’m going to explain how a company can set up a good strategy architecture through the capability map and value streams.


Business Strategy and Business Model

When it comes to decide which strategy is better for your company, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The best way to develop a business strategy is to look at the specific needs of your company and the resources that you have available. You also need to think about your company’s strengths and weaknesses. Developing a business strategy is not an easy task, and it requires a lot of thought and planning. However, it is essential for the success of any business. The first step in developing a business strategy is to assess the current situation to have a better picture of what you have and not. This involves taking a close look at the company’s strengths and weaknesses. It is related your strategy architecture referring to the process of creating a strategic plan for an organization that outlines the objectives, goals of your company. This architecture plan includes company’s goal, mission, values and capabilities. Here, we may think how to realize the goals with our existing capabilities. With this information in hand, you can start to develop a plan that will help you achieve your goals. A company’s strategy should be based on its goals and objectives. What does the company want to achieve? How does it want to go about achieving these goals?

Strategies must be adapted to the specific goals of the business. Too often, companies attempt to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach when developing their business strategy. This can backfire, as it can be counterproductive. Instead, businesses should tailor their strategies to the needs of their specific industry or market. When working with business goals, it is important to first understand the company’s mission. This is what the company is all about and what it stands for. Once you have a clear understanding of the company’s mission, you can start to develop goals that reflect this mission. It is also important to consider the company’s goals and objectives. There are a few core goals that every company should aim for. These goals should reflect the company’s vision and mission, and they should be aligned with the company’s strategic goals. However, developing a business strategy is not a one-time event. It should be revisited on a regular basis to make sure that it is still relevant and effective. Defining and clarifying the strategies is a planning process consisting various steps.


The primary step is to situate your company’s position within the market in analysing your strengths, weaknesses. The classical SWOT analysis is most used to categorize what you find as market data, customers’ demands, stakeholders’ requirements and the issues that need to be addressed. This step includes identifying the company’s goals, mission and later the creation of roadmap to achieve them. This planning phase consists specific tactics, resources assignment, outline of roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders, like RACI method. But before the development and definition of business strategy, you need have an architectural capability supporting to have a good decision making about your strategies.
