Directive Strategy The problem with strategy is that organizations, literally have not head. They do not form a unit and are collectively quite dullard. However, the concept of “strategy” implies that all individuals that constitute the organization are united in pursuit of a coherent objective. Senior executives spend more time and energy in the implementation of strategies rather than in the selection of strategies. Even well- selected strategies can fail due to a wrong implementation. The design of adequate organizational structures for an specific strategy is, therefore, a key element to achieve success. Consequently, no wonder that strategy’s adequacy to the structure is a field that arouses a strong theoretical discussion. Organizations often behave as slow thermostat. They do not have to change their structure until an important crisis takes place. At that point, probably a greater change or revolution will be required in order to re-establish harmony in many structural and environmental aspects. At Gestión Quattro we can help.
