Business leaders are finding themselves increasingly operationally focused with negative capacity and visibility over improving customer experience and developing strategic agendas targeted at business growth. With the inability to assemble key resources who are themselves operationally fixed, the ability to grow the business is no longer in the hands of the leadership team, and is subjected to market forces like a vessel staying afloat at the mercy of the ocean.
Organisations that find themselves adrift and no longer able to determine a current state or last known position are unable to navigate to their desired destination. Equally, knowing where their customers are and where they are going is a competing priority that needs to be aligned with busines goals and growth strategies. Developing a strategy for growth that aligns market demand and organisational capability development is imperative to support the businesses ability to sustain and grow both in revenue as well as essential resources required to execute the strategy.
Taking the time to re-evaluate and re-align business activities, objectives, and investments through strategic analysis and goal setting is the first step to being positioned to capitalise on opportunities in the market. Being nimble, responsive and establishing an engagement structure that harnesses the internal strengths of your business to enable the business to respond to market challenges and customer demand with fluidity is key.
Developing a strategic approach to maintaining and enhancing your competitive advantage starts at the top. Business owners and leadership groups need to shift competing priorities to ensure that attention is given to maintaining a strategic approach to business, if you’re not able to establish where you are on the journey, how are you going to navigate the business forward? And how are you going to meet your customers where they are going?
