The strategy you develop must always serve the purpose of the companies long term vision. That is the most important thing. But try to look at where you are now and the activities you are performing. After that see the market, customer reaction, client needs and future growth. And in every strategy you outline please engage members even though they are not in the management team. Create a steering team from a top manager to the bottom employee and gather information on how to improve on some areas and how to keep some functions.

Strategy is divided in to 2 one is Short term and the second is long term, in every business there will be a Strategic planning exercise for short term goals and long term goals. It is just like any weekly/monthly review where you learn and implement your actions to overcome challenges and meet market demand strategy also of similarly nature.

 

An organization looking out to develop strategy (short or long term) will establish basic requirements like Vision, Mission and values for the organization, Market segmentation, product positioning, pricing strategy, promotional and marketing strategy and then consumer insights gathering to learn and adapt to the expectations of the market.

 

So it begins as above and goes as per the business environment with slight/moderate changes in strategy depending upon the larger environmental changes in the business cycle.

This question is very important and not easy to answer simply because  it needs many inputs to answer it professionally . In fact, in my simple view the most useful resource to sharpen the strategic development or skill is frequent review and update on regular basis as per market trend. I hope it is clear now.
