When is Internal Information Assessment Report used for Strategic Planning?
Please refer to Information
Gathering & Assessment in Creating
Strategy Blueprint phase for context of this template.
This template is used during and
after information gathering on internal assessment is going on.
As strategy is an ongoing process of re-thinking and adapting to
new internal factors, this report becomes a dynamic document. Along
with External Information Assessment Report, it completes
the picture for all information one needs to work on SWOT and finally for
the strategy blue-print.
Why is it used?
This works like an independent and
dispassionate platform for sharing the information, interpreting
it and also doing an impact analysis on the organization. One of
the issues which any strategy faces is that many a times information
is presented (or twisted) to suit the gut-feel strategy. By having
a separate report, one can to a certain extent 'try' to make this
a less influenced assessment.
it is also the fact that many a times there are
no right or wrong answers to the assessment of information.
One has to take a best guess. This report tries to maintain a balance
between hard and soft assessments.
How is it used?
The template becomes a reference
point as one gets on to gather information. The internal information
gathering though having some context is more open-ended compared
to what you do for external information gathering. |
