We all understand the importance of having a business strategy. Even if recorded on a cocktail napkin, we want a defined direction for the business.

But why do we need an Operations Strategy?

Because without one, operations are reactive, with no overriding plan for success. Brand promise and competitive advantage fall prey to loose ends and inconsistencies.

Those in operations are seldom taught or expected to speak, think, or behave strategically. Too many companies rely on the employee who appears to save the day, when in fact that need for heroic effort and tribal knowledge indicates system failure - specifically, management failure.

Crises will occur until the operations strategy aligns infrastructure and process with the requirements of brand promise, customer loyalty, and profitability.
