Strategy Development
Set your strategic direction with a ruthless focus on results
Introduction
No one can predict the future, but a good strategy increases your likelihood for success
Let’s face it. Most organizations struggle with strategy. They have trouble creating, communicating, executing and measuring it; and then leaders are deflated when the strategic plan collects dust on the boardroom shelf.
What’s going on? We’ve found that common practice is getting in the way of successful strategy:
- Confusing strategic direction with strategy execution by loading strategy with actions
- Using corporate jargon, fuzzy language, and vague ideals to document your strategy
- Selecting a strategy framework because it is currently trendy
- Skipping the important steps that build buy-in and deepen strategic thinking
At Adura, we bring a rare perspective to our facilitation that improves your strategy.
Not only do we specialize in strategy formulation, we also bring a deep expertise in execution and performance measurement. Our depth and knowledge of frameworks will meet your specific challenges, whether you’re with a for-profit, not for profit, or government agency.
