Having a strategy is valuable because it provides a #cleardirection and helps individuals or organizations make informed decisions. A well-crafted strategy can help your team align your resources and efforts toward achieving your goals, prioritize initiatives, and allocating resources effectively. Additionally, having a strategy in place can also increase accountability and help to measure the success of your efforts because tracking your results helps you get greater results.
Having a strategy can also provide a competitive advantage by allowing organizations to anticipate changes in the market and adapt quickly.
