SOMIA Preparation
The SOMIA tool helps structure the implementation of actions by grouping them into a comprehensive and coherent view. It allows you to verify that all strategic dimensions are covered and to align initiatives with strategic objectives. At O Strategies, this tool is used in the Transform phase of our ART methodology for designing organizational strategies (ART: Analyze, Rethink, Transform).
