When to Draft Strategy Reports
The decision of when to create a strategy report is as important as having a well-thought-out strategy in the first place. A strategy report may be focused (e.g., a Marketing Report) or general (a Business Report). For it to be truly effective, it needs to be strategic also in its timing.
There are several key inflection points. For some added insight and discernment into each of these points, consider the following samples provided as free PDF documents for your perusal:
- Business Strategy Report—Often a report that comes in the beginning, offering a full scope of your intentions and plans. This is where you will gain (or lose) supporters and funders.
- Strategy Implementation Report—This is an executive report on the implementation, or the takeoff period, if it happens to be a prolonged and tricky ordeal.
- Strategy Progress Report—A report that comes in at a time where you are deep into the project founded on your initial strategy. This will help you show your clients and investors how you have done so far, summarizing your impact and your adherence with your original plan. It will foster continued support. This is similar to the Strategy Performance Report.
- HR Strategy Report—This report can happen any time in follow-up response to issues and committee suggestions.
- Strategy Review Report—This is when the original strategy is reexamined, the course is reset, and the resources marshaled.
- Strategy Development Report—This occurs when the original strategy might have to be redesigned, or when a new strategy has to be developed in its place or in its absence.
Other reports in this collection are directed at areas of focus within an overall strategy (the Jobs Strategy Report Template shows how the Ford company tackles site redevelopment strategy). It will benefit you to study what you can get.
