Your vision requires big ideas, clear goals, great teams and unique activities to generate, capture and preserve value creation.
Differentiating from competitors needs effective decision-making to identify, execute and adapt those activities to an ever-changing environment. Also critical is making sure the enterprise and the product/service portfolio are aligned and well communicated and owned by the right teams.
Preparing a single unified roadmap will ensure execution is tracked in one place, shared transparently, and progress and benefits measurable, while maintaining flexibility where needed.
Accelerate your organisation’s performance, avoid misaligned projects, and focus on more meaningful value-add work. These are some of the main areas we can help you manage and apply your strategy execution:
| Strategy Planning | Connect your vision, mission and outcomes by staying focused on achieving well-defined goals. Ensure your growth plans, increasing revenue, boosting margins, and operational efficiencies are prioritised by empowered teams. |
| Portfolio Management | Combine both enterprise programs and product plans into one coherent portfolio, managed in one place. Assess the resources needed and ensure they are prioritised for maximum impact and value generation. |
| Product Management | Making your product mission, customer growth and go-to-market an imperative will require a systematic approach to combining design and systems thinking to manage your product portfolios and value propositions. |
| Artificial Intelligence | Elevate artificial intelligence adoption by aligning data, technology, and talent with measurable objectives for seamless AI integration. Continuously refine and scale AI solutions through agile experimentation, governance, and collaboration. |
| Go-To-Market | Successfully introduce a new product to the market, ensuring alignment among marketing, sales, and product teams. It includes identifying target audiences, defining a unique value proposition, selecting the right channels, and establishing benchmarks to measure success and guide future iterations. |
| OKRs & KPIs | Ensure your corporate level and functional level outcomes can be measured, whether as OKR, KPIs or qualitative measures. Ensure success or your ability to learn and adapt is objective and driven by insights backed up by evidence. |
We can help refine and execute the whole or part of your Strategy Roadmap. Our experience and tools allow us to work collaboratively across your teams and embed best practices, create lean governance and ensure your C-level is owning their Roadmap.
Benefits
The success of an organisation can be measured in many ways, not just profitability, and it’s that collection of different ways of measuring outcomes that motivate people and help them adapt to new challenges faced:
Create greater alignment and transparency, which in turn empowers teams to work collaboratively generating more results sooner.
OKRs and KPIs can be challenging to calculate from siloed operations. Make their importance, consistency, and visibility more explicit, and drive better decisions.
Automatically generate and communicate updates from integrations and data available in other systems.
Identify and anticipate risks such as resource constraints and constraints, and take them on proactively, avoiding disruptions.
Track key operational indicators and critical processes, and ensure your BAU is not impacted while delivering on your strategic plans.
Your team gets a clear picture of what work to prioritise without endless meetings and admin, to support all your strategic plans.
Sustainable Innovation
Create meaningful impact and quality, whatever the goal of your organisation, business unit or team. Sustainability values, purpose and technology can be combined to create more sustainable models. Be patient, as some ideas can take years to fully develop into consumer products or business models that will have long-term benefits.
Service Design
A rounded value proposition will include multiple service elements combined, both externally and internally facing ones. Thinking through every aspect of your customer and employee experience, before, during, and after the purchase and consumption of your products. This means allowing individuals and businesses to consume your products as they want, which requires ensuring a high degree of self-service and personalisation.
Services are a critical component of creating a more complete customer experience and should benefit your ability to achieve and sustain market share. Build it into every customer journey and use technology, such as artificial intelligence to unlock new ways to automate self-service and scale services.
People
Every strategy is driven by people. Whatever your goals and plans, you need everyone aligned. A shared roadmap will bring everyone together and ensure sticking to a common mission and culture. Here are some of the challenges and needs often expressed by people, at any level, when referring to strategies and portfolios:
- “It’s not clear what is the strategy, nor what activities are the most critical to focus on”
- “I want to see every plan in one place and measure whether we are moving towards profitability”
- “I want all our teams to see our strategy in one place, and contribute to its speedy execution”
- “I want my teams involved in strategic initiatives to do so from one coherent platform”
- “I want to monitor all projects as a portfolio, and empower leadership to prioritise those that generate value”
- “I want my long-term resource and people-intensive transformation programs to be aligned and tracked in one place”
