Your strategic leader announces\u00a0a new high-value initiative<\/span><\/h2>\n

with the potential to generate amazing growth and market domination <\/span><\/h2>\n

But when you follow the money, too many of these launches (a few years later)<\/em> quietly fail to deliver any significant<\/em> results.<\/span><\/h3>\n
Why does this happen? Research shows one<\/em> reoccurring reason. Now I\u2019m going to surprise you. <\/span>It\u2019 NOT for a lack of great ideas.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Great strategies ... create lackluster performances because they are not integrated into business infrastructure (lost in tactics)<\/h1>\n

    We strengthen that interface - helping tactical teams power on despite heavy workloads<\/p>\n

      If your strategies always translate into actionable plans that deliver expected ROI then this is not an issue for your organization. If, however, your project team is poised to deliver only incremental improvements again (keeping the cash cow plugging along but there is really no innovation), we would love to be the first expert you call. <\/span><\/p>\n

      We love to sit down with strategic leaders when<\/span> a biz unit's new product pipeline is emptying out - that's a time when we can be very useful. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Some of the most effective uses of our services are when <\/span>a product line hits growth targets but a 2-year slump always follows, or if margin against investments is <4:1, or if a BU Manager resorts to \"saving their way\" to hitting growth numbers instead of developing breakthroughs. If your new product success rate is ~10% or if you're having trouble recruiting the correct talent because the work is incremental (not cutting-edge and, let's face it, not that exciting), then that is a good time to call us in. <\/span><\/p>\n

      But the most urgent scenario<\/span> is if you have already abandoned 1 market segment and are considering 2 or 3 more due to cutthroat competition \u2026 even if they are not saying it \u2026 let\u2019s be clear, if you are losing market segments then you have an innovation problem!<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t\tDISCOVERY DAY:<\/span> We walk around and observe you, processes, and teams and then give you expert feedback on what we observed and where we see opportunities for improvement.<\/span> STRATEGY DAY: <\/span>Our expert(s) spend 1 day with your leadership team to figure out what your strategic\u00a0 executive plan is going to be. <\/span>STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS:<\/span> No more than 7 internal stakeholder interviews to discover perspectives, insights, frustrations, opportunities, and stakeholders wish-list for change. You gain expert insights from an outsider\u2019s point of view to illuminate blind spots & potential quick wins. <\/span>INTERNAL POWER BREAKFAST:<\/span> If you are launching a new strategic initiative in the next 30 to 45 days, I recommend we speak privately so we can provide you with a few additional insights and recommendations that are specific to your particular situation. Let us know if you\u2019d like to do that. <\/span>INTERNAL ERT: Our clients bring us in to ignite conversations between decision-makers (what\u2019s new, what's next, and what's not widely known) in a mutual quest for insights and to get\u00a0driven professionals & leaders on the same page about growth and societal benefit. <\/span><\/span>We've listened very closely to executives (non-competing) we've been talking to and we've heard things that could be key for your leaders. So, we'd like to provide those insights to you if you are interested in having those.

      \n\t\t\t\t\t\tSo, if any of those things are true for you, or even if they are not NOW, we\u2019d love to have a conversation with you about how we could help your organization if (or when) that time comes. Because I can tell you that by the time a pipeline is 2 quarters from emptying out, or your NPD success rate is only 10%, or if you have already abandoned one market segment and are considering dropping another, that is NOT a great time to go out into the market to try find someone like us. It\u2019s better if we take some time now to get to know one another and we can be on speed dial if you ever need us.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
