I believe a business needs to be balanced. Ensuring you have identified the three main forces or demand on your business internally and how these work together is key - potentially with "Plan" documentation. Understanding your business in terms of the wider environment the business operates in and how you engage & influence it starts to bring the business together.
RenewMarine can help deliver these Plans. I do so not in isolation, YOU are the expert, I drive the process.
Power Triangles. Find Yours.
Answering these basic questions will deliver your strategy. Don't worry about the order and off course you can add more; why for example. This can be critical. However these three will get you a long way towards your business strategy or department strategy.
RenewMarine use this simple structure in most of what we do. Inspired by the teachings of Costas Markides (LBS)
Trusting in Simplicity.
The RenewMarine mountain range versus mountain analogy. Inspired by nature, I believe we rarely have a single market. We need to ensure we understand our market by breaking it into sub market. Evaluating simple dynamics; are they in growth, plateau, or decline state. Can we timeline this current state. What evidence have we for this. Where are our clients on the mountain, at what level, on what face OR what is there maturity and what are their drivers. Critically then, how are we approaching them. Are we on a direct track, or using the wrong track that will or wont get us to them.
Organising Chaos, Delivering Structure.
