Open Strategy
Understanding your market, competitors and the environment your business operates within is becoming increasingly demanding. How will digitalization disrupt our business? What resources and capabilities do we need to stay ahead of competition? How can we develop a flexible yet effective business model? Running business in a complex environment is difficult, but ignoring the views of informed peers can be costly and devastating. Open strategy workshops help you understand your strategic challenges, develop short and long term strategies, and review existing ones. Our methodology has proven effective for more than 50 multinational organizations in Europe, Southeast Asia and China.
Healthcare
“Despite all the challenges and mistakes so far in China, it is regarded by the Board as key to the future growth of the company.”
Demographic changes and lifestyle diseases are global challenges for many governments. However, while they also provide an opportunity for independent healthcare actors, entering new markets requires a solid understanding of the regulations and standardizations to which actors are liable. Hence, the focus of this workshop largely revolved around the question of how to handle government relations on provincial and local level in the most effective way to ensure we receive required medical practice (clinic operating) licenses, and clinic relicensing approvals, within reasonable timeframe?
Atomotive
“Making this shift towards the premium segment has raised some concerns internally, especially in Sweden where the company has always strived to treat all customers equally.”
The automotive industry is currently facing a radical transformation. Different customer groups have different perceptions of price, product and service benefits. Meeting the needs of all customer groups may not be possible, especially if the company itself has culturally amalgamated with a specific market segment. Hence, when attempting to offer “premium models that are not part of company’s corporate DNA”, organizations need to reconsider their culture and core competencies which nurture and carry forward its assumptions from one generation to another. This workshop, therefore, dealt with how to change the organizational mindset, routines and practices to better align with a premium service strategy?
Cargo
“We changed all Business presidents 3 times in the last 9 years, i.e. 9 Presidents in 9 years for 3 businesses”
The industry for cargo and load handling solutions has enjoyed stable growth in developing markets. But, with the disruption of new technologies, digitalization and market consolidation, leading actors are increasingly pushed to reinvent themselves. However, in pursuit of strategic change some companies may find themselves trapped in a constant flux—moving between market recalibration and disorientation. A pressing question is then, how can organizations find a common ground when major changes occur every year and new directions offer no more than confusion and frustration in the operational level?
