Strategy

"We are all continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems" (John W. Gardener), hence an acceptable definition of success is the progressive realisation of a worthwhile predetermined goal.

In today's fast moving and developing world managers often find reasons why strategic planning won't work rather than looking at why it will. With this in mind, developing a cohesive strategy can be a daunting experience but if you focus on developing a winning strategy to ensure sustainable growth, the benefits to your people, your systems, your customers and suppliers are significant.

During a strategic process you develop core drivers that include;

Choosing the future.
Redefining competition
Accelerating performance.
Setting objective that are:
- S pecific
- M easurable
- A ttainable
- R ealistic
- T ime-based
Putting ideas into action.
Identifying, developing and sustaining a competitive advantage.
Constant review and feedback.
