Outsourcing is becoming a standard business practice in virtually every facet of business operations. This trend enhances the usefulness of the value chain approach in strategic analysis. It is our opinion that there are three fundamental perspectives – strategic control, continuous improvement, and the balanced scoreboard, which provides the basis for designing strategy control systems.

Our strategic control systems are intended to steer the company toward its long-term strategic goals. Premise controls, implementation controls, strategic surveillance and special alert controls are types of our strategic controls. These four types are designed to meet our needs to track the strategy as it is implemented, to detect underlying problems, and to make necessary adjustments.

These strategic controls are linked to the environmental assumptions and the key operating requirements necessary for successful strategy implementation. Ever – present forces (PESTEL) of change fuel the need for and focus of strategic control.

Operational control systems require systematic evaluation of performance against pre-determined standards or targets. We use trigger points and contingency plans in this process, and are committed to the continual improvement in which personnel across all levels in the organization define customer’s value, identify ways every process within our business influence customer value, and seek continuously to enhance the quality, efficiency, and responsiveness with which the process, products, and services are created and supplied.

This includes attending internal as well as external customers. The “balanced scorecard” is a control system that we use to integrate strategic goals, operating outcomes, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement into an ongoing strategic management system.

It is therefore in this context that our company believes that we will be able to fulfil our obligation to our clients. By affording us, the opportunity, it will allow the company to achieve its objective.
