Defining a strategy for your company's language processes is not as complicated as it sounds. We all constantly create strategies in our daily lives, e.g. investment strategies to increase our cash-flow situation or nutrition strategies to become healthier or leaner.

Defining a strategy sounds complicated? Not at all! We create strategies all the time, for example, investment strategies or nutrition strategies. Simply put, a strategy is a plan for behavior in order to achieve goals in a more or less distant future (for example, lose 10 kilos 😉).
