IS YOUR STRATEGY STRONG ENOUGH ?

A strategy is like your spine ; it keeps it all connected to a common foundation, allowing for a business – like a body – to operate as one organism or system. 

If your sustainability or business strategies aren’t centered around your business’s purpose, aren’t  properly contextualized in reality, or are not well embedded and actionable daily, they will have limited effects on their intended goals, objectives or outputs.

COMMON STRATEGY CHALLENGES:

  • Existing strategies don’t address what is actually material for the business and society. 
  • Sustainability and business strategies are misaligned, even contradictory.
  • Strategy objectives, targets and KPIs are not effective in measuring or meeting their intended goals and commitments.
  • Strategies are not sufficiently owned internally and the effective integration into existing processes and daily practice is cumbersome.

A PROVEN APPROACH:

Consolidating a decade+ of experience designing , improving, integrating, embedding and implementing sustainability
and business strategies across organizations , I developed the four-phased ”Foundation Framework”  below, with which to guide the development and roll out of  a company’s strategy journey  :

THE FOUNDATION FRAMEWORK :

AS YOUR PARTNER:

To embark on your ”foundation journey” we begin by defining your needs and desired outcomes relative to your starting point, and consider resources, stakeholders, milestones, governance and steering, as well as project risks and dependencies –  to determine what success looks like for you.

From here I usually design a  customized proposal with a detailed project roadmap and budget that considers agreed-upon deliverables and roles and responsibilities of all project team members, workstreams and timelines.

Along the entire project journey I usually work as both a hands-on expert and project lead, as well as fully integrated team member.
