Instead, each member of the Management Team formulates a own message for each department. The overall communication, the message, the vision of the business and its development and change will then diverge within the organization, with as many variations as Management Team members. The Management Team has fallen into the Operational Pitfall.

The consequence is that the development and change of the business becomes unclear and confusing for the employees, they feel insecure and perhaps also frustrated. They are not sure WHAT to do or HOW to do it, let alone WHY to do it. Parts of the company have different ideas about WHO should do it.

Has the Management Team received an increasing amount of detailed operational questions from managers and employees in the organization lately??

I offer Boards and Management Teams a help to structure the strategic development work. Based on a strategic holistic perspective, analyse the objectives, current situation and conditions to identify strategic needs for development and change in the business' direction, organization, working methods, digitization and competence. Establish a strategic plan with clear priorities, with consensus and unambiguous communication and messages to the organization for future development and change.

Digitization, new tools, and opportunities - data & analysis to keep track and make the right decisions.

Digital development is moving fast. Large amounts of data are available, and it's easy to collect data yourself. New technologies for analytics and self-learning algorithms (AI) directly in digital applications. Owning your data and having the knowledge and ability to analyze, compile and visualize it to create strategic and operational decision support, forecasts, and follow-ups  is becoming increasingly important in an rapidly changing world. Understanding data is a major competitive advantage.

I offer help with analyzing and structuring the business needs and potential for different analysis methods and increased digitization. Through partners, be able to concretize and propose digital comprehensive solutions, for a value-creating information flow for the benefit of both strategic and operational analyses, forecasts, and decision support.

Development and change always create questions, a curiosity, but also a certain concern. WHAT should change? WHY should it change? HOW is that going to change? WHO is going to change? and WHEN should it change?

For the organization's understanding, success and sustainability, it is important to have consequent and  unambiguous answers to these questions no matter who you ask - the management team, the immediate manager or the colleagues.

Operations - Value chain, processes and working methods

A clearly visualized description of the business, what the value chain looks like, what the processes are and descriptions of working methods, accessible to everyone in the organization is important from more perspectives. It creates a holistic understanding and shows what is done in the business, how collaboration takes place and how value is created. It enables effective management of operations and is a basis for development. 

With a strategic holistic perspective, I offer help in your work to analyze, structure and visualize the business's value chain, processes and working methods. Identify adjustment needs in processes and working methods for higher value creation. Create clarity and a holistic understanding of the entire business.

Development projects - prioritize, carry out, implement, get an impact

In line with the constant change of the world, the development wishes can be almost endless. Many projects underway at the same time? Hard to get enough resources? Is a large part of the resources spent on correcting errors? Are the projects standing still? Unclear who makes decisions? Were the effects missed? Did the implementation go awry? 

 I offer a help to prioritize your projects based on strategic analyses and management goals. Get a clear structure and management with simple decision paths. Last but not least, a structured working method and plan for the implementation and follow-up of the development project.
