Yellow Path

Our professor had discussed strategic analysis to us, as said Strategic Planning has four elements:

• The What (what the organization does and what they want to achieve)
• The Present (current state of the organization)
• The Future (Is what you want to be)
• The How (how you would achieve it)

In addition, there is a so called "Earl's Three pronged Approach" which will help address the organization's problem.

1. Inside Out
2. Bottom-Up
3. Top-Down

As part of the discussion what I liked most is the topic about critical success factor (CSF), because like in the Wizard of Oz, this is the yellow path, which will be the organization's guide on which one should be the focus of the organization this will help on how the objectives of the organization must be done. CSF is different from our office in the KRA, KRA CSF and help the organization focus on the important areas that must be done well in order to achieve the objective of the organization. CSF helps the members of the organization perform their work in the right context and pull everyone towards the same overall goals.
