Data is a powerful tool for analyzing strategy, but it needs to be combined with qualitative insights and a deep understanding of the business context.
Strategy analysis requires critical thinking, problem-solving, and a willingness to challenge assumptions, going beyond creating pretty graphs.
Comprehensive strategy analysis requires a broader perspective, considering internal and external SLAs, success metrics, and a more holistic view of the organization's performance.
Qualitative measures such as customer satisfaction, employee morale, and market reputation are essential for understanding the intangible aspects of business performance in strategy assessment.
