Strategy Design
Design the Right Long-Term Growth for You and Your Stakeholders
When organizations have aspirations or opportunities to grow, the challenge is to identify how to pursue that growth. Traditional strategy tends to focus on long-term performance improvement of an existing organization in pursuit of its mission. Design strategy, by contrast, emphasizes innovation. It focuses on mission expansion, new opportunities to deliver on an established mission, and other outside-the-box opportunities. These typically require extensive stakeholder engagement to get buy-in on change, expansion, and redefinition.
