What are Strategic Priorities?
Strategic Priorities are operational objectives outlined by the C-suite of a given company, the point of which is to message to shareholders in the company what the company seeks to achieve to drive improved performance.
Why are they important?
Understanding a target company’s strategic priorities allows an individual to determine which objectives at the organization are of top-of-mind for company executives, and, importantly, likely to have substantial budget allotted to the execution of these priorities.
How often do they change?
Wholesale changes to strategic priorities often occur around seminal events in an organization: the arrival of a new CEO, a major planned acquisition, industry upheaval and disruption. In the US, company priorities are often re-stated on a quarterly or annual basis.
