Creating Future‑Ready Strategies
Organizations typically understand their high-level goals but struggle to create focus, align daily actions with these goals, and consistently track progress. Our approach to strategy is practical, flexible, comprehensive, and uniquely supported by our cloud-based platform for strategy activation.
Why Use A Platform-Driven Approach To Strategy?
1. Where Do We Want To Go?
Strategy On a Page
What should our vision and mission be? When do we believe we can achieve our vision? Are our vision and mission statements designed to withstand future changes? Additionally, what are our ambitions for the next five years, and how will we measure success to determine if we're on track to meet those goals?
2. Where Do We Operate & What Markets To Enter?
External Analysis
How attractive are our current market spaces in terms of size, growth, profitability, competitive rivalry, and barriers to entry? Where will we focus our efforts in the future, and what strategies will we employ? Are there adjacent or new markets we can explore, and what are their sizes and growth trends? And who are the key competitors in these markets?
3. Where Do We Stand Compared To Our Competitors?
Internal Analysis
Do we have a competitive advantage, and in which market spaces? What distinctive competencies enhance or hinder this advantage? Who are our largest competitors, what strategies do they employ, how profitable are they, and what are their strengths and weaknesses? What key differentiators—such as technology, innovation, customer experience, service model, and pricing—could disrupt the market?
4. How Can We Get There?
Strategic Priorities and Initiatives
What key priorities must we address to achieve our goals? How can we defend and expand our position in current markets, and what strategies will allow us to scale our smaller businesses? How can we foster future growth options, and what projects need to be planned to meet these priorities? Finally, what short-term results should our managers aim to achieve in the next 6 to 18 months?
5. What We Will Achieve And What Do We Need To Get There?
Financial Projections
What is our economic baseline, and how do our strategic and enabling priorities affect our level of ambition? How will each priority contribute to our success measures and goals? If we continue our current approach, where will we end up, and what will happen if all potential threats materialize without action? Additionally, what resources (CapEx and OpEx) are necessary to effectively pursue our strategy?
