A Chief Strategy Officer is becoming increasingly important in many organizations. This importance is due to the need to coordinate the design, implementation and realization of plans to meet the company’s objectives; short, medium and long term. The CSO role is to be the “doer” in charge of leading the execution of the strategy.

The ability to plan is fundamental to the success of each of the parties. As a company executive, he enhances production and organizational efforts towards giving new ways to expand the business. Considering the risks and benefits of each decision and aligning organization and strategy must be taken into account to achieve effective strategic execution.

Assertiveness, rationality, organizational skills, commitment, ability to communicate effectively and, of course, training and experience in business administration or related areas are some of the key traits of a good Strategy Director.

Knowing the short and medium-term goals and objectives of the company is essential to elaborate, develop and implement the strategy to be followed to achieve them. It is the starting point in the process of planning, review and subsequent communication of the program to be carried out. The role as Strategy Director must therefore be aware of these goals to guide the business leaders on how to determine the initiatives and objectives that will help achieve them.

In addition to perfecting the execution of the strategy, it is important to lead the way for the company to implement it. That is, to accompany and coordinate the entire process.

In short, he is in charge of generating, facilitating and executing the strategy to meet the goals to be achieved; to this end, he must follow the evolution of its development to ensure success. As we have seen, this monitoring is essential on the road to tomorrow for our company.
