Task 1:
Critically analyse the current strategic aims and objectives of your chosen scenario / organisation, you may wish to consider the fuller hierarchy of objectives, within your critical analysis, enable greater detection of misalignment. Use techniques and modelling to underpin your critical analysis, where feasible.
Decompose your organisational strategy into logical component parts, it is likely that each functional area will have their own customized strategies and tactics; it is within this sphere that misalignment often occurs. Not all component parts of the strategy will have the same value or level of risk; this may be considered in your analysis.
Critically conduct an environmental scan focused on environmental factors in the short and medium term, short being up to one year, longer term being up to three years.
