Strategy

Strategy is a comprehensive guideline that focuses on an organization's vision on its means to deliver values to its customers and shareholders. Strategy is a key that drives the day to day operation of every level of an organization. Strategy is not an array of specific tactical decisions or projects.

Strategy is the starting point for success. Knowing what you intend on becoming is key to achieving your goals, be they cost reduction, profit enhancement, quality improvement or market penetration-or some combination of all these, and more. Yet many companies have a strategy by default, not by design. They drift into their futures using a tired old mixture of "what worked the last time", "the way we do things around here" and "if it isn't broke, don't fix it." Strange thing about these approaches is you don't hear them much anymore. That's because those who held them are fast becoming casualties of a dynamic world-they're selecting themselves out of the future.

At Gordian Transformation Partners, we believe in active strategy. Strategic planning must confront the inevitable. It has to be actioned to earn the investment in time, money and management attention it often requires. We make sure that happens. We make sure the strategy is real-positive, uplifting, and inspirational, but always attainable, measurable, and valuable. Strategy should drive structure, it should set lofty, achievable goals, and it must be enacted.

Gordian's strategic roadmap offering is a 2-12 week (usually 3-6) analysis. We work closely with a team of client representatives, including participants from executive leadership, operations, IT, and key support functions. The joint team then embarks on a series of focused facilitated activities designed to surface and evaluate opportunities based on the needs and direction of the organization. This approach based on client participation promotes consensus building and buy-in, which is a necessary ingredient for subsequent rapid implementation. In addition, Gordian transfers knowledge and understanding of both the content and process by which the strategic roadmap has been developed.


Transformation Roadmap Methodology




Gordian's strategy formulation methodology also includes an assessment of the organization's change readiness and its current organizational capabilities. Recommendations will be provided to address any deficiencies that could impede implementation success.

By examining all the important elements of an organization's current and future landscape, Gordian's strategy approach ensures a direction that makes sense, supported by the capabilities and competencies necessary for success.

The nature of Gordian's strategy formulation involves iterative cycles that occur within the above-described elements. During the analysis cycle, new learning occurs and new information surfaces that can impact prior decisions. Our methodology takes this evolutionary process into account by encouraging dialogue, investigation, and questioning. The resulting outcome truly becomes a "living roadmap" that can be refined and improved over time, thanks to the client's participation in, and assimilation of, Gordian's strategy formulation methodology.
