       Strategy has been defined as describing, "...how an organization intends to create sustained value for its shareholders." While most companies and strategic planning focus on the tangible assets of a company, these assets comprise, on average, only about 25% of the value of a company. The other 75% of the value of a company is the intangible assets. These include a company's human capital, their information infrastructure, and the overall organization of the company. Investments in these intangible assets are what leads a company to long-term growth and expansion of a company's top-line. Focus on the operational/tangible assets are what leads to the bottom-line, and while they often give short-term improvements to profitability, they seldom lead a company to meet those long-term sustained goals and growth visions for a company.
