My thesis here is that, starting from a certain company size, harmonizing and integrating innovation, as well as medium- and long-term strategic issues, with daily operations in the short term is a problem that requires special attention.
Therefore, “orchestrate the company” will have the meaning of harmonizing and integrating both fronts: the short, medium and long term, to “sound” like a perfect “symphonic orchestra”, without dissonances and with “creativity” and “excellent” results. ”.

The whole strategic process must be driven by the management team, communicated and shared by all.
Strategy on one page, is a very useful way to facilitate the elaboration, the communication and the comprehension of the strategy.
