When building a new strategy, you will almost certainly find that there are gaps in the capabilities and systems. The key is to at the strategic capabilities and systems you've identified and start with a really honest assessment. If these are the five most important capabilities and the six most important strategic management systems, where do we need them to be, and where are they right now? You can an define a plan to bridge that gap, to move you from where you are to where you need to be.
