Is a plan equal to a strategy?
A plan is not equal to a strategy since market knowledge without a plan can also be strategy
Alignment: When a business is in alignment, that means that all levels and players are clear
about the organization's purpose and make decisions in accordance with it. The
company's resources, strategies, management systems and communications illuminate the
purpose so brightly that it is unmistakable.
Flexibility:
Startups and small shops have the ability to be flexible whereas bigger companies have to stick to
what got them big in the first place. Growth= Less flexibility
