State of National Affairs (SONA) is a process used by organizations to collect, analyze, and present crucial information about their functioning and performance. It involves gathering the most relevant data, thoroughly analyzing it, and communicating clear takeaways, recommendations, trends, and key messages to all stakeholders. SONA provides a review of implementation status, allows organizations to understand differences between goals and reality, and helps adjust strategy. It is considered necessary for tracking individual and team performance, driving the right operational culture, and setting action plans for the future.
