“Plans are useless, planning is indispensable”- Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The planning environment is ever more complex and dynamic, the rate of innovation breath-taking. Digital technology is ubiquitous, possessing unprecedented scalability and power to disrupt industry value chains. Growth means little without the ability to be always vigilant to threats and opportunities, along with the ability to adapt quickly. Planning and adaptability are converging abilities.
The new critical success factors are:
- Understanding where disruption is likely to come from, it’s speed and impact. What is your response?
- What is your organisation’s capability to execute? What skills do you need today? How will you adapt key activities and resources?
- How do the answers to these questions shape your value proposition? How do you create and capture value? What is your added-value, or competitive advantage, relative to the nearest alternative?
We work with you to design and implement an engagement program of key stakeholders with an ongoing planning process. which become key cultural traits of continuous improvement and innovation.
