Strategic management – from strategy to practical action


Strategy creates direction. Results arise when objectives are transformed into plans, responsibilities
and practical actions – and their implementation is continuously monitored.

Revise EPM connects objectives, planning, finance, operational metrics and outcomes

into a cohesive management framework.

The value of strategy arises from execution

Strategy defines where the company wants to go. The role of management is to translate this direction into concrete objectives, plans and actions. The challenge easily arises when strategy, financial planning and operational activities exist separately from each other.

Revise EPM helps connect objectives, planning, outcomes and metrics into a continuous management process.

Connect objectives to measurable actions

Strategic objectives need metrics that can be used to track their achievement.

Metrics can relate to, for example:

✔ growth
✔ profitability
✔ sales
✔ customers
✔ effiency
✔ cash flow
✔ personnel

✔ sustainability

Look forward, not just backward

Actual reporting shows what has already happened in the company. Management also needs a constantly updated view of the future.

With these, management can consider four questions:
✔ Actuals - where are we?
✔ Budget - Where did we plan to go?
✔ Forecast - Where are we now heading?
✔ Trends - What do we need to do?

A business is not managed in a vacuum

The company's own data only tells part of the whole.

Customers, competitors, markets, technology, finance, legislation and the labour market are changing. The company's own data only tells part of the whole. Customers, competitors, markets, technology, finance, legislation and the labour market are constantly changing. 

Changes can affect the company's goals, plans and forecasts. In strategic management, the company's own information must therefore be able to be examined
in relation to the changing operating environment.
