The business world is similar to a soccer game, where the team represents the company and the players represent specific functions required to run the operations, to ultimately, score the winning goal. Specific strategy and planning must be established then executed accordingly. During the game, players are faced with situations that require problem solving, use of skills, speed and wit to overcome them.
An organization runs the same way, where strategy must be clearly defined, translated into proper planning and then executed effectively in order to achieve the objectives and win the competition. When faced with a challenge during operations, the Company must determine the most appropriate solution to overcome it and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage.
