Strategy
A frequently cited definition of strategy was coined by Alfred Chandler:
"Strategy is the determination of the basic long-term goals and objectives of an enterprise, and the adoption of courses of action and the allocation of resources necessary for carrying out these goals."
A more down-to-earth explanation would be that a strategy supports the vision and mission with concrete intentions within a given timeframe, and specifies the means and elements to be deployed in order to reach concrete goals.
Strategy discussions are inherently moments when (difficult) choices need to be made regarding the initiatives most likely to help an organization to achieve its goals.
A successful implementation of a strategy requires fine-tuning and coordination among all parts of an organization to ensure that the right means are available in sufficient quantity in the right place and at the right time.
