Strategic Corporate Planning
New patterns of strategy and competition are emerging that challenge the way we currently do business. The future is not an extension of the past and cannot be predetermined or predicted. But our present choices do influence our future.
A good strategic plan helps organisations grow and be profitable. Traditional strategic planning, focussed on operational effectiveness, is often inadequate for today’s competitive environment. Product-centred innovation has been replaced by business concept innovation that seeks to envision what has not been done. It’s driven by imagination not investment. Now, market share depends on:
|
|
Organisational competence |
 |
|
|
|
Capacity for innovation |
 |
|
|
|
Ability to diffuse knowledge within an organisation and with its collaborators |
Strategic Alignment Associates brings an integrated approach to corporate planning based on recognition that:
|
|
Values, attitudes and culture drive individual and group behaviour |
 |
|
|
|
The alignment of these with knowledge and skills, business processes and the organisational goals are critical to business performance |
 |
|
|
|
Strategic thinking and strategic conversation are the critical pre-cursors to effective strategic plans |
Strategic Alignment Associates assist organisations in strategic corporate planning by developing their capacity to read the environment. An ability to observe and perceive, to spot subtle differences that look beyond short-term goals helps develop long-term sustainable performance.
At Strategic Alignment Associates we plan for the future with an eye firmly focused on the present and by using lessons of the past. We understand that organisations need to adapt to environmental changes as they move into the future. Our job is to help you focus on your ‘preferred future’ and build your capacity to cope with alternatives that might arise. |
