Goldcrest Partners works with you to ensure your strategy has the characteristics necessary for success and the leadership, culture and teamwork to execute successfully.
A reliable guide for efficient decision-making
To be successful with strategy, and by implication grow a resilient and sustainable business, it is important to approach this vital organisational activity with commitment, an open mind and expert guidance. Knowing the criteria of a successful strategy and the demands it will place on your culture, leadership and teamwork are pre-requisite to successful execution.
Goldcrest Partners believes this means asking (and answering) some important questions such as: What is a strategy? Where does it sit in organisational thinking? What makes a good strategy?
What is yours and how will you implement it successfully? A good strategy serves as a reliable guide for efficient decision-making at times of ambiguity and competing priorities, allows a business to plan thoughtfully and flexibly, and most importantly, make the purpose a reality. A well thought-out and well communicated strategy will answer the fundamental question: How do we get from where we are now, to where we want to be in the future? Strategies can, therefore, be seen as the connector of a business’s past, present and future.
A strategy needs to pass a number of hurdles to have a chance of success:
• The analytical work inside and outside of the organisation needs to be of high quality and correctly interpreted
• Where your strategy sits in your organisational thinking is essential to get right to avoid the common reasons most strategies fail
• Your people need to be able to successfully respond to the questions the strategy asks of them. Your leadership, culture and teamwork determine whether you have the answers required to achieve the hoped-for business outcomes.
