STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION

Have you ever wondered how on earth successful companies manage to execute a complete transformation of their operations, and often, at the same time, create problem-solving strategies, opportunity development strategies, aligned culture programs, business plans, update the business models, and reinvent their entire business, from the ground up?

Put simply - strategic transformation.

But what is strategic transformation?!

If the question that’s currently buzzing in the international business community has, as yet, remained unanswered for you, here’s a quick glimpse into some of the fundamentals of what business transformation strategic planning can mean for you and your business.

Strategic transformation can be applied across an entire business, or focused on one specific department or area of concern.

Wholesale strategic transformation may be required when a leader realises that a business needs to undergo a complete transformation of its entire vision, mission, reputation, specialism, or its operational roadmap.

Operational transformation could involve updating digital processes within the business, improving the mind-set and behaviours within the company regarding technology, or re-imagining the company’s legacy, infrastructure, systems or tools - all aligned to new business outcomes.

Essentially, strategic transformation should be used to transform a business in ways that bring about beneficial changes that will efficiently re-align leaders, teams and companies with their most compelling goals.

Maintaining Alignment with Your Goals

For some companies, the main issue is one of alignment - in other words, finding engaging and meaningful ways for leaders and stakeholders to align behind a new and more inspiring vision.

Or, for others who wish to, to rebrand the business and reposition themselves within the marketplace. There’s never been a trickier time for keeping up with current trends and remaining relevant.

There’s also never been more opportunity!

Looking Under the Hood

A business transformation specialist will help a business to identify what’s working, what isn’t and what needs to change.

They do this by looking under the hood of the business, shedding light on its current workings, and revealing how well the parts connect and integrate with each other (or not).

In this way, leaders gain clear insights into the essential changes needed, and can ensure that they are always investing time and energy on what matters most.

How It Often Works

When you hire an expert to help formulate a strategic transformation plan, they may sit with you in meetings, discussing the nuts and bolts of your company.

Chewing the fat over target markets, globalisation, regulations, innovation, competition, complexity, recruitment and technology. Eventually, you’ll receive a report, a roadmap or a business plan that promises to have identified and solved all of your problems.

How it Works with Group Partners Online

When we work with businesses, we like to be less of a burden but more valuable. We want to be objective and review what is already valuable, identify what’s missing and give credit to the critical insight already in the heads of those on the front line - the business.

We get granular and hands-on. But we respect the time and overheads of our clients in the process.

We work with our clients to establish the question that needs to be answered by our work together.

We call this ‘the exam question’ - the most pressing problem, issue or goal that if answered fully will allow your business to operate and thrive at its highest level.

We then work with you on your question, using our unique, visual media to create engaging, interactive representations of how your business is currently working.

What’s Unique about Group Partners

  • We don’t tell you how to transform your business, we work with the team to understand the implications and actions visually

  • We create graphics and imagery by any means necessary, to illustrate what’s happening - allowing you and your teams to see the importance of each gap or connection, and then work together to improve the overall decision quality within the company

  • We get teams involved

  • We overcome the distraction and dispel the inertia within the workplace

  • We create frameworks that generate animated conversations among motivated teams, about what needs to change, why …and how to change it

  • We work this way to develop solutions that have everyone’s fingerprints on them and which are, therefore, genuinely owned.

When you are able to peer into the reality of your business, you may be amazed to find that a lot of your unasked questions are answered along the way. It’s easy to find answers to problems when you know where (and how) to look.

We like to ensure, throughout the process, that the question that gets answered is the one that needs to be asked. Or as we like to say..

‘Let’s not solve the wrong problem really well’.
