Corporate strategy process support
Steering a company towards profitable growth involves both the definition of clear strategic priorities and action plans and the building of an overriding commitment from the organization to achieve agreed common goals. We work with our client leadership teams to design and implement strategy processes throughout the organization that align and prepare those involved for both developing effective strategies and owning of the implementation process.
The basic principles behind our approach to the strategy process are:
- Strategy is about executive choice, it cannot be outsourced or delegated
- Data and analysis support and enable dialogue, but don’t replace it
- Constructive dialogue is required for alignment and commitment
- Communication and challenge are essential for engagement and ownership
- Execution is about consistency and alignment over time
