An organizational strategy is the sum of the actions a company intends to take to achieve long-term goals. Together, these actions make up a companyâs strategic plan. Strategic plans take at least a year to complete, requiring involvement from all company levels. Top management creates the larger organizational strategy, while middle and lower management adopt goals and plans to fulfill the overall strategy step by step.
The mission statement should guide the actions of an organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a path, and guide decision-making. It provides the framework or context within which the company's strategies are formulated. It is like a goal for what a company wants to do for the world.
