So, we need a Strategy making it a qualitative, descriptive activity in which a strategy is captured in words, figures and pictures, necessary for gaining clarity.
Words help express tone and make clear one’s views, while numbers help express exactitude and accuracy. By quantifying things such as for comparison, rating, and ranking, we must be clear and specific about what we are attempting to say. It supports us to express, for example, how much better/worse is one opportunity compared to another, or how important/unimportant a particular resource is for the business.
Final comments: lack of clarity is of a tremendous negative consequence towards effective strategy creation and performance. To efficiently tackle Ambiguity, the ability to merge qualitative nuance with quantitative accuracy is a decisive necessity for strategy. The main benefit is the level of clarity.
