A current-state analysis of the SADC-DFRC involved gaining a “business truth” of where the organisation is
relative to the 2009 – 2014 strategic plan. With the organisational vision and mission statements as guides,
the review process was directed towards reviewing strategy and goals in terms of key stakeholder outcomes
such as product or service innovations. The focus of the review process thus was on how the organisation can
increase the efficiency of stakeholder interactions, how to improve the cost-effectiveness of the organisation’s
services and develop better stakeholder value proposition and strengthen the DFRC brand. By assessing the
movement, direction and momentum of the stakeholders served by the organisation, the information shared
during the strategic review process was meant to lead to better planning decisions.
