WITH FORESIGHT THROUGH TURBULENT TIMES
Let's start with a comparison:
- Imagine a large family planning a trip.
- Everyone says where they want to go.
- Everyone wants to experience something different.
- You need common goals and images of what you want to happen on the trip.
Then comes the planning:
WHERE, HOW, WITH WHAT?
- At some point, planning combined with flexibility in the right place is the key to success.
- This is exactly what strategy does in a large company.
- It creates shared images of what success is.
- It gives direction.
WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO? WHAT ARE WE DOING TO GET THERE? WHO MAKES WHAT CONTRIBUTION?
- As with travel planning, it is important to consider the environment.
- Where do we need new routes?
- What dangers need to be avoided and what equipment is required?
- There are always challenges, sometimes even crises.
In the end, the same applies to the journey as to the strategy:
PLAN WELL AND THEN BOLDLY SET OFF.
- Experience has shown that not having a strategy is exhausting, expensive and does not allow anyone to achieve their goals.
Therefore - it pays off - read and live the strategy.
Have a good journey!
