Strategize Your Way into the New Year
In this “do more with less” age, everyone is under siege to improve performance at every level. In the global marketplace, sustaining success is increasingly more difficult. Are you prepared to cope with the changes in the economy, the impact of global competition, and supply chain disruptions? Not to mention workforce shortages and Quiet Quitting?
This is the fundamental reason for developing a strategy.
How can you develop a strategy for your company in a world where the only constant is change? Most people are wary of planning in the first place; preferring instead to keep doing the same old thing and getting the same result. (That of course is the definition of insanity!) The biggest fear is setting a rigid plan that will hinder their ability to pivot quickly. Which is precisely why you need a proactive strategy.
Strategy is the process of planning and allocating your resources to optimize success. Without a strategy, the only motivation is survival. To do more with less, you need crystal clear vision, guiding principles, and unique value proposition. Create a strategic plan to be a living document communicated throughout the organization for optimal success.
With only a few weeks left until the new year, there is no better time to start strategizing for 2023! Block out some time to evaluate where you succeeded and where you fell short this year. Note what you hope to improve and what you want to keep doing. Use the following to inspire and inform your plan.
A good strategic plan:
Crystallizes priorities
Creates a sustainable value proposition,
Defines shared values and guiding principles
Develops a system to inspire and motivate change
Aligns employee and company intentions
Communicates strategy to stakeholders
Creates a plan of action
