Lack of integration between strategic vision and the tactics needed to get there is a problem I often find when reviewing marketing strategies. I find myself reading about different aspects of marketing objectives and tactics that just don’t line up with each other – and leave you questioning why.
Without a unifying framework, it’s not always clear how each strategy is supporting a goal or the analysis on which the objective is based. We recommend summarising your strategy with these 4 steps:
- Objectives
- Substantiation
- Strategies to achieve goals
- KPIs (critical success factors)
Find out how to create a one-page marketing summary, and use it identify actions across each stage of the RACE Framework, in my blog How to align your marketing strategy with your objectives.
