The Balanced Scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that translates an organization’s vision and strategy into a set of performance indicators across four perspectives: In fact, there are four elements: Financial, Customer, Internal Processes and Learning & Growth. It offers an expansive outlook to the entire organization’s performance other than the traditional financial parameters. The Balanced Scorecard is being used by MSR Digital to monitor overall performance in a balanced way in all of key areas.

PESTEL Analysis

Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal (PESTEL). The first framework we lay down helps organizations understand the macro environmental factors which could shift their strategy. In order to anticipate external changes, and adapt its strategies to them, the PESTEL analyses have a regular basis at MSR Digital.

Blue Ocean Strategy

A Blue Ocean Strategy (“blue ocean”) is one of creating blue oceans or, in other words, new market spaces, instead of competing in red oceans (i.e., existing markets). It creates value and innovation to kill the competition. Using Blue Ocean Strategy, MSR Digital creates unique digital solutions and develops unexplored markets, to open up new markets and provide uncontested space for growth.

Aligning The Business Strategy With Its Organizational Structure

Organizational Design

All organizations should have structures that support their strategic objectives. The structure can be dimensional, divisional, matrix, functional or flat but the design should facilitate the flow of communication, its decisions and collaboration. With this matrix structure, we can have some flexibility and encourage some cross functional collaboration to drive our innovation and responsiveness.

Leadership And Culture

Strategy management is led by power. Leaders must exemplify the organization’s values, energize employees, and lead the strategic initiatives. A proper organizational culture that fits strategy will boost employee engagement and performance. MSR Digital has laid out a culture where people learn continuously and innovate. People here are expected to come up their ideas and work completely independently.

Performance Management

Clearly defining performance metrics and checking up on regular basis, keep the organisation on the path towards its strategic goals. The strategic planning process should link with performance management systems as continuous feedback and improvement. With the real time data monitoring of progress and making informed adjustments, MSR Digital merges performance management into its strategy.

Risk Management

Risk management is effective when a potential risk is identified, measured and mitigated. Risk management with a proactive mind is not reactive to risk both and encourages the organization to move past the uncertainty without pulling the lines with the strategic objective. At MSR Digital we use comprehensive risk management methodologies to anticipate and handle possible problems; ensuring we protect our initiatives.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
