5 Core Operational Strategies
Operational strategies refers to the methods companies use to reach their objectives. By
developing operational strategies, a company can examine and implement effective and efficient
systems for using resources, personnel and the work process. Service-oriented companies also
use basic operational strategies to link long- and short-term corporate decisions and create an
effective management team.
Customer-driven Strategies
Operational strategies should include customer-driven approaches to meet the needs and desires
of a target market. To do so, a company must develop strategies that evaluate and adapt to
changing environments, continuously enhance core competencies and develop new strengths on
an ongoing basis. When evaluating environments, a company should monitor market trends to
take advantage of new opportunities and avoid possible threats.
