Key challenges
Defining strategic intent without implementation is pointless, but implementation without intent is purposeless. In today's business environment companies should do both in parallel, define their strategy and put it to action as fast as possible, in incremental steps. Some of the key challenges they face are, e.g.:
- How do you strike the right balance between a medium-term strategic direction and a short-term action plan?
- Should you choose between a problem focused strategy or a 360 degrees strategy?
- How should companies think about strategy given the many approaches out there, e.g., core competences, playing to win, moon shots, light houses, must-win battles?
- Should you develop an inside-out or outside-in strategy?
- How real is the risk of digital disruption and how should that affect the strategy?
- How do you manage risk, e.g., strategic/market/operational and environment risks and managing those risks in alignment with risk appetite?
