Strategy Management
for Government Organizations
Today’s government work takes more than good intentions, it requires clear direction, teamwork, and results you can measure. At Core-Strategy, we help public agencies and local governments bring focus, alignment, and action to every part of their organization.
We believe strategy in government works best when structured in phases that build on each other. Here’s how we guide public organizations:
Define & Plan
Do a SWOT or environmental scan; involve the internal and external stakeholders; state your mission, vision, and values; SMART goals and strategic objectives are set
Execute
Assign roles and responsibilities; allocate resources; launch projects; integrate strategy into daily operations.
Monitor & Evaluate
Track KPIs, use governance controls, create feedback loops; performance evaluation; modify plans according to data, changes in law or policy, feedback from stakeholders.Government Entities:
