One of the most fundamental skills that Leon Drogy developed was his ability to do strategic planning. In doing so, he was able to direct and make decisions based on allocating the resources of the business in order to pursue a strategy that involves its capital and people. Leon Drogy is quite knowledgeable when it comes to a range of business analysis techniques that are utilized in strategic planning such as the SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) amongst others.

During strategic planning, Leon Drogy considers the future course of an organization with key questions like: “what do we do?”, “for whom do we do it?” and “how do we excel?” or rather “how can we beat or avoid competition?”.

Mr Drogy is aware that strategic planning can be an effective tool in designing the direction of the company though it cannot predict exactly how the market will develop and what issues will surface. It is therefore ideal that the strategic innovation as well as the strategic plan has to be the keystone strategy for an organization in order for it to endure turbulent business climates.
