How to develop best-practice strategy in a business or a multinational organization? Putting in value the strategy function and embracing a Holistic Management Strategy (HMS) framework would unleash performance for any business or organization. This book illustrates with real examples the HMS, a set of 10 frameworks that provide best-practice to design and develop strategy. The HMS approach is differentiated between business unit and divisional/group level, and adapted to situations of existing versus new markets and organic versus inorganic growth. The book introduces new topics such as integrated business model and strategy & financial plan at business unit level, attractiveness and opportunities framework for new markets linked with inorganic growth, portfolio horizons connected with the company's market valuation gap, leadership & management excellence programme (e.g. THICOSIV), company excellence based on a balanced designed and considered decision-making, the future of the strategy function, and seven meta-architectural levers to successfully address digital disruption.
