When faced with multiple strategies, which approach is most effective for selecting the one that aligns with organizational goals?

The most effective way to pick a strategy that fits an organization’s goals is to use a structured scoring framework. First, list the key goals—such as revenue growth, customer satisfaction, and cost control—and assign a weight to each based on its importance. Then score each strategy on how well it meets each goal, multiply by the weight, and add the results to see which strategy scores highest. This scoring method keeps the focus on what matters most and turns subjective judgment into a clear, data‑driven choice. For example, a retailer could compare an online store, a pop‑up shop, and a loyalty program, score them on sales, brand awareness, and cost, and pick the one with the highest weighted score.
