Your strategy determines the direction of your business and ultimately its success or failure

Change, change and more changeThe disruption and ambiguity confronting businesses today now means that strategy needs to be revisited more often than was traditionally the case. Product and service lifecycles that historically ran a predictable course, are changing at the fastest rate in history.

Revisiting strategy annually, or on a longer cycle, can put you at a disadvantage. It is not only consumer goods that are fast moving today. While technology, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) is driving change at unprecedented rates they are also providing, and will continue to provide, organisations with considerable strategic options. Maturing data analytics can provide valuable insights into your business, its challenges and opportunities.

Consultants Collaborating on Business Strategy

Understanding options and making the correct choices is key, not only to improving profitability, but to ensure the ongoing relevance and sustainability of your organisation.

Business Strategy Timing

Timing is more important than ever

If you are are conducting strategic workshops every other year or even annually, depending on your industry, you may be may slowly falling behind and perhaps even threatening your long-term future.

Competitors, new entrants and organisations diversifying their product and service offerings create threats but they also offer opportunities for renewal or adjustment of existing strategy.

Digitisation, automation and AI means that many current practices will not exist in five years (World Economic Forum, Forbes). Organisations looking to capitalise on the opportunities provided through technology and automation should be making strategic decisions now, not in five years.
