The strategy formulation
process is much different than the strategy execution phase. Strategy
formulation is heavy on analysis and the soliciting the input of various
experts in the market, financial, process, resource, and logistical
areas. Once the strategic plan in place, we can set up and activate
the strategy execution systems to ensure success of implementation
of the strategy.
If there is
not an adequate strategic plan in place, we can work with you to
formulate and implement a long term strategic plan.
In order to create your strategy we offer value analysis consulting
that, when used in combination with our value engineering tool,
determines the type of strategy that is necessary to focus on.
We then work
with you in implementing that strategy. Our consultants work with
you to map your strategy. We do this by determining the following:
- What is
your long term and short term strategy?
- What performance
measurements do you need to track?
- What are
the questions you need to ask (what do you need to know and from
whom do you need to know it?) in order to properly manage your
strategy?
- What are
your goals and objectives?
We can also
identify and analyze possible scenarios with ScenarioMap in order
to do some pre-planning and to safeguard against problems in the
future.
The following
list indicates how the products apply to the strategy formulation
process:
Refocus

value improvement projects on products, services, and processes.

b. What are your performance measurements?
