stratgey-consulting-01.pngThere is an old saying: "When you are up to your armpits in aligators, it can be difficult to remember your original intention was to drain the swamp"  Having an external resource, whose sole focus is the strategy task can be a great support to an executive team who;

  1. Want to drive out great strategy (with all the work that can entail)
  2. Must simultaneously remain engaged in short and medium term operational tasks (with all the work that does entail)
  3. Recognise they can sometimes be so close to the business as to have difficulty "seeing the forest for the trees"
  4. Value being able to contract a resource familiar with developing foresight, driving out insight via strategic analysis and who can help structure the output and collaboration
  5. See the need for a facilitator skilled at keeping the process moving, on task and creating value.
T | M | G has and continues to work hard at providing that resource through the ongoing development of our methodology and the development of extensive resource material.

The general format of strategy development follows this wheel, from foresight to ultimately, PIR (post implementation review).  There is a short movie clip on You Tube which describes our way of working which may be helpful to you. (Link ) TMG applies a very wide range of models to the strategy development task, selecting those most appropriate to the objectives being pursued.  We recommend that early in the process of strategy development, you turn to foresight.  As the pace of change accelerates, so too does the visibility on information relevant to the future.  Anticipating change creates the opportunity for competitive advantage.

Somewhat concurrent will be the analysis of the industry, your market and your organization, using tools you think appropriate, SWOT, 5 Forces, Delta, Portfolio analysis, Product life cycle, Business Driver analysis, Ansoff Matrix, Blue Ocean – there are many tools; each contributing something to your understanding.  Your goal is to combine your understanding of industry dynamics today with the foresight you have about tomorrow to develop Insight. Unique insight.  Insight your competitors do not have.

AnTechniques 2.jpgd so on around the wheel.  How involved you need us to be in each step would be something mutually agreed.  Most of the work is an appendix to the creation of a compelling and supported case for the recommendations, knowing that there is overwhelming leadership (and in many cases organizational) support for what is being recommended.

Typical outputs include;
  1. A presentation, commonly a slide show, which may also be cast in various versions for different audiences such as the Board, management, employees and in some cases, suppliers and customers.
  2. A documenting format required by the business, commonly present in multinational organizations or where there is an output format that is already well understood by organizational participants
  3. An implementation plan showing tasks, task owners and time frames (and sometimes budgets)
  4. A business model or business case that ranges from a summary P&L expectation through to a full NPV (net present value) analysis reflecting the time frame for which the strategy is expected to apply and the value expected to be delivered
  5. A performance evaluation model which links the strategy to existing or to be developed performance tracking systems (often a derivative of the business case)

TMG haMEETING.jpgs experience in facilitating strategy development across a wide spectrum of output expectations.  Sometimes our facilitation role is as simple as supporting a 2 day management retreat.  On other occassions it is a 12 month project involving many stakeholders including the Board.  Irrespective of the magnitude of the task appropriate to your strategic need, it is important all participants have a clear understanding of the;
  • content which needs to be developed (including decisions)
  • process through which that content will be developed
  • output form and quality reuqired for the result to appropriate to the needs of the organization
