Here’s an outline of our areas of expertise:
We help organisations define their vision and mission, identifying strategic goals and the actionable steps needed to achieve them. Our approach is collaborative, ensuring that strategic plans are not only ambitious but also realistic, aligning with both market opportunities and internal capabilities.
Aligning and anchoring the Leadership Team around where the organisation stands at present (the starting point for transformation), engaging in constructive dialogue about the barriers to growth, forming consensus on the key opportunities and risks, and building a view of the team’s capability to deliver is the basis of this stage. It is vital to analyse the facts, interrogate existing strategic documents, research the competition, assess the fit-for-purpose of the organisational KPIs, and understand performance gaps and targets. We assess the current business situation through the lens of internal factors such as Leadership, Culture, Systems, Resources and Structure and consider the external environment through STEEPLE (PESTEL) Analysis and other such frameworks.
Once the current state is consolidated, and an understanding of the direction the organisation needs to take is clear, the next challenge is to set the strategic goals aligned to key planning horizons. The strategic goals should be balanced and consider what success looks like for all stakeholders. These goals are then aligned to the business plan through the setting of near term and medium-term objectives – these should be synchronised with budget forecasts and desired outcomes for the organisation. We work with stakeholders, typically through a workshop (or series of workshops), to define the future state – using guiding question techniques to help participants be clear on where they want to go and tie this into the 3-stage horizon planning framework.
With strategic goals, including short- and medium-term objectives, there is a need to start planning the journey (including, as appropriate, the engagement of stakeholders). The aim is to close the gap between the current state and the strategic goals. It’s essential at this stage to define who is responsible for deliverables and timelines. Before leaving this stage, there is a need to cross-check the organisation’s ability to execute based on priorities, resource capacity and fiscal/ operating environment constraints. We capture the key execution levers noted by participants and work together on identifying key focus areas, opportunities, strengths of the business and the initiatives (big ideas) that will guide the strategy in the form of an action plan.
Embedding the strategy and key KPIs into BAU and ensuring the business cycle is adjusted to review and monitor progression against the strategy is vital to ensure the goals remain front of mind. There is a need to devote time specifically to assessing the strategy’s progress – not just including this in operational meetings but making sure strategy meetings are planned and actioned. Recasting or reforecasting may be required periodically as the internal and external environments shift. Thought should be given to how strategy elements can be embedded in performance management, board reporting and business function planning. Alignment to the vision and mission must also be observed and maintained.
