Align Your Strategies and Operations

Decision makers define and refine business strategy and policy in an ongoing attempt to improve and sustain competitive advantage. The problem is that it is extremely difficult to reconfigure operations to support a new strategic direction. Most decision-making tasks are performed manually, and strategy changes often require the retraining of human resources. No matter how good the training, though, people make mistakes. Furthermore, people are limited in efficiency, requiring new hiring when scalability is needed.
