DEVELOPING YOUR STRATEGY
When a meaningful strategy is needed
Strategy is not just about words in a paper. Its about working out where you are going, how you will get there and the value you will bring.
Let's talk about your journey.
Direction of Travel
Whether its a strategy for your whole business, or just one income stream or project, understanding the aspiration is key to determining the direction of travel. To work out how you will get there means understanding where you are now. This requires an honest assessment of your current position.
Articulating Strategy
Even if you know where you are going, and how to get there, you still need to articulate this in a way that meets your stakeholders needs, whether that's your customers, your staff or the Board. There is an art to writing a good strategy - it should demonstrate complex thinking in a simple and clear way.
Defining Value
The value you bring is what your customers determine it to be, not what you want to deliver. Understanding this properly is a significant step in achieving growth for your business. The value generally solves both an external problem and an internal psychological need. Do you really know your value proposition?
