Parts of a Business Strategy

strategy  / ˈstratɪdʒi /
(noun) a plan of action designed to achieve a long-term or overall aim.

However, this definition simplifies the three key elements. You will need to dig deep to:

  1. plan on the basis of the present state,
  2. aim for the future you envisage, and
  3. act(ion).

Along with an (4.) executive summary, these three elements form your four-part business strategy.

But, as Leonardo da Vinci noted:

“The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions”.
