STRATEGY
„Winning should be at the heart of every strategy” – A.G. Lafley & Roger Martin
A winning strategy is the key to sustainable success. It provides the framework for business decisions and the effective management of all company resources.
We assist management teams in crafting winning strategies through engaging, interactive formats. Additionally, we help corporate leaders critically evaluate existing strategies and test their resilience against current trends.
Our strategy workshops foster open dialogue among decision-makers, encouraging shared perspectives on the current situation and future challenges. Thus, we lay the foundation for determined implementation already in the strategy process.”
Strategy at the situation table
A winning strategy addresses two key questions:
- Where to play – In which market segments do we want to be active in the future, and in which not (anymore)?
- How to Win – How should we position ourselves to succeed in these chosen market segments?
Our strategy workshops at the situation table tackle these questions through structured sequences:
- The „Where to Play“ workshop defines the customer groups and services that should drive business growth now and in the future.
- The „How to Win“ workshop identifies the levers to convince customer decision-makers in each market segment and outplay competitors.
You, as the management team, conduct the strategy work in an interactive workshop – guided by our experienced strategy facilitators. This way, you not only receive tailored strategies but also mobilize your team during the strategy work for later implementation.
Trend Resilience
How future-proof is your company in a world with highly dynamic trends? How do you address the impacts of climate change? What effects does AI have on your value creation? How are emerging market players affecting your market presence? What are the implications of demographic shifts on supply capabilities? And what risks arise from escalating geopolitical tensions and trade conflicts?
Our Strategy Resilience Workshop tackles these and other pressing questions. At the situation table, we work with you to pinpoint key influences on sales and the entire value chain, extending beyond your company’s borders.
This streamlined Strategy Review Workshop is tailored for strategy retreats involving leadership and supervisory teams and is also utilized in the training of supervisory and advisory boards.
