Strategy Development

Strategy is the answer to the questions WHY, WHY and HOW business will develop in the near future

Every decision of the management team either helps the company achieve its strategic goals or leads away from them. How can a business find the path that will lead to achieving strategic goals faster and with the greatest effect? How to rationally use available resources? A clearly written strategy, developed by our experts together with the management team, will help guide the company's efforts in the right direction.

In what situations is it necessary to develop a strategy:

There is an interest in scaling the business, but there is no idea how to do it.

The company's shareholders insist on business growth - and it is important to identify ways to solve this problem.

Business growth is not as fast as we would like.

The owners have different views on the company's development path - they need to be brought to the same vision.

The company operates at high profit margins, but its growth rate is declining.

Owners and top managers are at a dead end on how to develop further.

There are ambitions to hack the market!

The balance of power in the market is changing (or will definitely change in the near future) due to the entry of a new major player.

The task is to attract investors, so a strong company strategy is required.

The business is preparing for sale, and the owners want to earn the maximum amount.

The deadline for implementing the current strategy has come to an end - and there is a need to develop a new strategy.

IT IS IMPORTANT

When implementing the project, the author’s methodology is used, which has been proving its effectiveness for more than 15 years - during this time, about 150 companies from 10 countries have successfully implemented projects to develop and implement a strategy under the leadership of Alexander Pankov. The expert outlined all the approaches and tools of this technique in the book “Labyrinths of Strategy. 8K", published by the publishing house "MIF".

A step-by-step algorithm for developing your business strategy:

1

Forming an image of the future of the company

  • What do business owners expect from the company’s development in the future? We are compiling a list of the main “wants”.
  • We describe the key guidelines, limitations and risks that need to be taken into account when developing a strategy.

2

Strategic sessions “Current state of business”

  • We describe the current state of business
  • Determine what its strengths and weaknesses are
  • Analyzing the dynamics of key indicators
  • We collect and analyze internal business problems

3

External field analysis

  • Competing companies
  • Partnerships
  • Main suppliers
  • Related markets and substitute products
  • Key trends/trends by country and industry

4

Strategic sessions “Formation of alternatives”

  • We describe options for business development, taking into account the opportunities and limitations described earlier.

 

IMPORTANT!!! Create not one, but several alternatives to the current development of the company.

5

Strategic Analysis

  • We calculate financial and marketing business models for each option.
  • We are exploring opportunities, risks and limitations.

6

Strategic sessions “Choosing a strategy”

  • We choose the path of business development taking into account the analysis of all alternatives.
  • We describe the strategy - what we focus on, what goals and objectives we set for ourselves.
  • We formulate functional strategies (for individual divisions) and compile a list of strategic initiatives.

7

Strategic sessions “Implementation and implementation of strategy”

  • We translate the strategy and previously described strategic initiatives into an action plan.
  • We form and approve teams, with each area of responsibility for solving problems.
  • We form the necessary budget.
  • We determine ways to control the implementation and implementation of the strategy.
  • We determine under what conditions and how we will make adjustments and revise the strategy.
