As businesses respond to the current challenging economic times, leaders have been called upon to reinvent their business strategies and make critical and difficult decisions as they navigate their way forward. Knowing where to start and what to concentrate on is key to ensuring a successful strategic shift.
When staging fairly radical interventions in your business and your strategic approach, it is vital that you:
- Review and analyse the latest available market research.
- Conduct an internal capabilities audit.
- Structure a clear and decisive roadmap for implementing necessary changes.
We will break these three areas down for you here. Knowing your market and your customer is critical to any strategic realignment. Keeping abreast of technological innovations and new products which can enhance customer experience are extremely important and figuring out how you can strengthen your competitive advantage. Understanding the strengths and limitations of your internal capabilities should inform any change in strategy. What do you do well and where could you do better? Once the first two elements are dealt with, it then becomes imperative to design an implementation roadmap which will outline your strategic approach, its feasibility as well as the investment needed to put it into action.
