Strategy is your leadership team’s vision of
how your company uniquely satisfies your customer’s needs. Without a clearly
understood strategy and plan of execution it is easy for
executives and managers to lose direction, waste resources, and
lose focus as they change direction chasing the latest
opportunity.
In preparing for battle I
have always found that plans are useless, but planning is
indispensable.

It’s an
understatement to say that we never would have attained the
results we did had it not been for Ron.

The Value to You Is...
In the last two years the business
world has turned upside down. Strategies must now be reviewed frequently as customer needs
change and competitors rapidly deliver new products,
services, and profit models.
In this business environment market leaders
and followers quickly change position. What difference would it
make to your business if you changed from your current market
position to leader? If you are the leader, what if you were to
lose position?
The most effective way to handle the business
turmoil we are in is with an agile strategy. An agile strategy
is
constantly aware of the business environment and is capable of
adapting when the environment
changes.
Winning businesses will be those that can
easily review and adapt their strategy when there are changes to
the business environment. Your strategy should be clear enough
that everyone in your organization knows how they contribute. It
must guide their critical business decisions.
| A 2008 survey of corporate
CEOs by IBM found that more than two-thirds of CEOs reported
their business model needed significant change. |
To succeed you need a strategy that:
-
Considers industry and broad economic forces
-
Identifies profitable niches you can
defend
-
Can be quickly reviewed as a part of normal leadership team
meetings
-
Directly defines initiatives, tactics, and actions for
execution
-
Lays out agile tactics
-
Is
clearly understood at all levels
-
Gives managers guidance for operational decisions
| An agile strategy isn’t one
that's fickle, changing with each opportunity. It is a
living strategy that keeps your executive team focused, but
supports agile tactics and becomes a part of operational
decision making. |
