The MOST Analysis is an analytical technique used for strategic planning and strategy development. The technique is used to evaluate what an organization wants to achieve (through a mission statement and objectives) and how it wants to achieve this (through strategy and tactics). This simple tool starts with the organization’s mission statement at a high level, then goes into more detail about individual tactics. Within the planning process, it’s important that there should be a logical connection between the mission and what is done daily to achieve it. The name MOST Analysis is an acronym composed of the following four elements:
- Mission: The mission defines in which industry the organization operates and what it wants to achieve there in the long term.
- Objectives: Objectives are goals by which the organization’s success can be measured.
- Strategies: Strategies are medium-term to long-term approaches to achieving the organization’s objectives.
- Tactics: Tactics define the short-term activities and projects with which the strategy is implemented[1]
