The act of determining which direction to take a business, especially when the need for change is pressing, can be daunting.

visioning
    Many strategic approaches pay more attention to drawing parallels with other clients than trying to really understand the needs of your environment, competition and people.

    We believe that while there are valuable lessons to learn from others successes or failures the best starting point is to understand clearly what needs to be achieved to deliver commitments to customers, shareholders, citizens and employees.

    This, coupled with a 'weather eye' to recognise and leverage opportunities that present themselves, provides a pragmatic and adaptable approach — a realistic and achievable goal.

leadership
    Whether the strategic intent leans towards expansion or contraction, focus or diversification, acquisition or divestment it's important to quickly narrow the options.

    The simple realities of capital constraints, operating cost pressure and available competencies will act to narrow the strategic options and save unnecessary analysis.
