Strategic Planning & Implementation
It is rare these days for a company not to have a strategy. It is fairly common to have a strategy that needs further validation and testing. It is extremely common to have a strategy disconnected from the day to day work of your employees. Our expertise lies in helping you to review and validate your strategy and bring that strategy to life in such a way that it is owned and driven by every member of your organisation.
Our strategy development work is aimed at businesses which need to adapt to significant changes in their market. A recent retail client asked us to review and suggest changes to their three year strategy to help them adjust to rapid erosion of their market share due to new entrants to the market. To help inform the strategic direction they needed to take, our analysis included consumer behaviour and product sales and profitability at SKU level. Our solutions included range reduction, international expansion and multichannel strategic acquisitions.
At the core of our strategy implementation and employee engagement work is the used of balanced scorecards which are aligned and cascaded throughout the organisation driving focused performance to achieve the strategic objectives whether you work on the shop floor or the Board. We work alongside your employees, training and coaching them in techniques such as problem solving and scorecard review and helping them to find their personal motivation for changing the way in which they work. Our clients often tell us that our ability to engage and enthuse their employees and train them in new skills is what makes them recommend us to others. You can hear this for yourself in our client video testimonials. Clients where we have helped to engage their employees to implement their strategy include: BAA, Dixons, Shell Select Stores and Alliance Boots.
