A survey regarding current usage of strategic instruments and investment controlling among top-management of dairy industry companies in Ukraine had been conducted. Strategic plan construction tools and processes among dairy companies in Ukraine had been investigated. Results. The article contains the investigation on value-adding of strategic planning tools and particularly investment strategy build-up in order to achieve financial and social goals of the company.

Other two types of post-implementation review have to be conducted in order to assure value-adding from strategic planning process and investment projects implementation. Practical value. Companies, particularly on top-and-middle-management level, may use proposed procedures of post-implementation review in order to build-up or optimize processes related to strategic planning and investment implementation. Originality. Tools of post-implementation review regarding investment projects, investment and overall business strategy had been structured and worked out.
