By assessing any organisation against the key factors under these headings and the tool components in this book, the organisation can assess its capability, bring about change and direct strategic focus. The book explores factors underpinning and influencing change for any organisation and gives organisation assessment, evaluation and strategic action plan process template examples, to guide decision making in setting strategic aims and objectives for organisation dimensional strategic directional focus, to ensure that the organisation is successful, competes and survives.
