The ability of an organization or company to change depending on prevailing circumstances determines its long term success. Strategics is one of the approaches required at particular moments in the life of any business entity. It gives room for a new approach in production and service delivery that is guided by efficiency. New ideas must be implemented in a way that will change the fortunes and projections of the entity.

Strategic management is required in different departments or areas of operation. These areas include communication, human resource, leadership and technology. It is aimed at bringing fresh ideas and thus changing the direction or operation mode for the firm. To achieve the best results, it is advisable to include new team members who will come with fresh ideas. They are not engrossed in the routine of doing things and are therefore armed with new ideas that will bring change.

A project management approach is required such that short, medium and long term goals are set. There are deadlines or delivery of set targets so that the turnaround can be felt. Short term changes indicate that something is happening or has happened and the operations are not normal. The change must target the core functions of a department, business or organization. The target is to cause a shift in culture to ensure that different results are obtained.

The plan details internal and external communication modality that will deliver the right information to the right people at the right time. A defined structure in the form of a communication protocol shows different clearance levels and authorizations. Organization and company secrets or information is only assessable to the right persons.

Human resource is a crucial part of any turnaround. It should be audited to establish its effectiveness, capacity and ability to help the firm achieve its future aspirations.
