These can be frustrating times when it comes to setting company strategy. Continued churn and uncertainty in the world economy creates an urgent need to maintain a focused, aligned, and flexible strategy. Yet, the cash flow realities of today make it increasingly hard to invest resources in a strategic effort.
This is where the DSI strategic checkup can help.
A DSI strategic checkup can help your organization or division refocus its resources through a facilitated one-day session with key planners or stakeholders. DSI will help prepare for the session through targeted interviews with key industry and company experts. At the conclusion, DSI will help your executive team develop a portfolio of flexible short-term and long-term strategic options.
The strategic checkup enables your executives to align strategy and execution with an ever-changing environment even when time or financial constraints prevent your organization from completing a larger scale strategic planning effort.
Our facilitators will help your team identify opportunities and confront key trends and uncertainties facing your organization or division.
The strategic checkup will help your team:
- Identify key trends and uncertainties
- Begin crafting an ‘early warning system” to spot qualitative shifts in the environment
- Match current strategic priorities with future strategic demands
- Develop and prioritize key success factors
- Create a framework for generating strategic option portfolios designed to profit from industry uncertainty
- Pause to examine long-term needs
