Case Analysis With Discussion: Strategic Option Analysis and Feasibility EvaluationThe Weather Company
As Wolfe (2011) notes in Chapters 11 and 12 of his book strategy development communication and execution are real-time ongoing processes. A strategy is never done as everything both internal and external to the organization is in a constant flux and changerequiring the strategy and the playbook for the future to be modified and improved.
A critical part of the strategy evolution process is to evaluate and check the assumptions and reasoning bases for strategies. Are the emerging strategies consistent with the Soulful Purpose of the organization; are they affordable; and can the appropriate skills competencies and capabilities be leveraged or acquired to make various parts of the strategy work? How will the competition respond and is the organization ready for it?
This week you explore the case of The Weather Company which in August 2013 presented their strategic plan that the senior leadership could help the company grow from $600 million in revenue to $1 billion or more by 2016.
