VMOST Analysis

The VMOST Analysis is a Tool that offers Companies a Guideline to follow when planning their Operations.

 

This Guideline consists on 4 Steps.

• In each of these Steps, it proposes to define certain Factors related to the Company.

 

Its name is an acronym for the 5 Factors it proposes (it is 4 Steps but 5 Factors):

• Vision & Mission.
• Objectives.
• Strategy.
• Tactics.

1. Vision & Mission:

• Vision: How you see the Market, and its Future.
• Mission: The Role that the Company plays in it.

 

2. Objectives: The Goals to be Achieved (and When).

• They should be Defined and Measurable.

 

3. Strategy: What Methodology will be used to achieve those Goals.

• It will vary depending on the project.

 

4. Tactics: What Actions will be used to comply with that Strategy.

• Tactics can vary over time while Strategy shouldn’t.
