Tips to Up Your Game as a Strategic Manager

This is the first in an expert series covering topics and suggestions that have a major impact on your relative strength as a strategic manager.
I’m not focusing on the basics in this series, but let’s put them in quickly for review. At the foundation level you need to have accomplished the following tasks and have a technology, like ManagePro, in place to support you and the organization in managing strategically:
· Build a clear strategic plan based around the top initiatives that
(you are betting on will) drive growth
· Base it on latest market realities and sound critical thinking
· Build solid action plans to achieve your strategic plan/goals
· Set in place metrics to give you a dashboard for each strategic objective
· Assign and follow-up on the results of executing the action plans regularly
