Strategy Development
In a world of limited resources, a robust strategy ensures alignment of decision making throughout teams and organisations. We work with leaders to draw together data, consult with relevant stakeholders and develop the strategy for organisations and teams.
It is not only getting the strategy itself right, Halo focuses on ensuring that the approach engages stakeholders in an effective way, thereby maximising the prospect of successful implementation. People buy in to what they help create. We design bespoke processes to develop strategy that generates the ownership that, in turn, drives execution.
Considerations
Past and current articulations of strategy and outcomes of implementation efforts
Current performance
Risk appetite
Strategic context - commercial landscape, megatrends (e.g. AI), stakeholder landscape, system dynamics,
Goals, if defined
Strategic and change drivers
Business model
Organisational capability and resources
Stakeholder perspective and engagement
Strategy articulation
Successful implementation of a strategy requires leaders to mobilise others if they are to succeed.
Boards need to ensure that strategic intent is clear for investors and aligned with their C-suite; CEOs and executive leaders need to articulate strategies and plans in a way that make sense for people on the ground.
To do this, leaders need a clear strategic narrative, ensuring all stakeholders understand the rationale, how it will be delivered and what is required of them.
We help leaders to develop a clear message. Drawing on best practice communication and change management principles ensures that the format, framing and focus is tailored to the audience and has the desired impact.
Strategies need to be articulated with the purpose and audience in mind.
