All too often corporate
visions and strategies lack the specificity for conversion into action programs.
Vision and strategy should not be academic exercises – take the next step and
articulate them into concrete and specific programs. Strategy articulation
identifies specific initiatives and projects that provide both the architecture
and the roadmap for achieving your vision and value objectives. Our team
has broad experience in enterprise strategy articulation in many industries and will work with your
management team to articulate your strategy and define a set of core initiatives to
implement your strategic plan.
Successfully formulating and implementing your strategic
plan requires a program management framework to ensure an effective and
orderly flow of work and deliverables. It is important to have a small but diverse
management team of knowledgeable, well-respected individuals to lead the
program. The program management team must be able to obtain the alignment of
senior leaders and key "gate-keepers" within the organization. The roles and
responsibilities of each group must be clearly defined as well as a process
for consensus, decision making and intervention. MESA can help you design
and deploy an effective program management framework as well as the
ancillary systems to ensure effective execution and achievement of strategic
goals.
To be responsive to dynamic, changing markets, strategic
planning and management must be an ongoing process. We can help you design, deploy and
utilize an effective enterprise
strategic planning system. We are always pleased when your clients
tell us, "We can take it from here."
MESA has identified ten
generic strategic positions, each with its own unique logic and
imperatives. These generic positions range from the emerging venture
company to the sector champion. Each of these positions possesses its own
economic logic and strategic imperatives. Most companies have established a
core identity that is best suited for one of these positions. That core
identity tends to be manifested in all the firm's units and activities. We
will help you understand your core identity, map it to your business
portfolio, and drive changes to maximize strategic performance.
We have developed a detailed assessment tool
that is designed to provide perspective and insight on key organizational
qualities and variables. This tool is designed primarily to assist you in
preparing and executing new strategic initiatives. It focuses on the
strength of six key executive roles within your organization; senior team
dynamics; organizational receptiveness and resistance; capability and
communication gaps; strategy skills; execution skills and more. We will
conduct the assessment and help identify ways to strengthen the firm's
abilities in key areas.
MESA Research has developed
Breakthrough!, a new formula for achieving extraordinary results based on the book by MESA
chairman, Dr. Bill Davidson. Dr. Davidson and the MESA team have worked
with and studied some seventy breakthrough companies for more than a decade. Drawn from these firms’ experience,
Breakthrough! presents the cumulative wisdom of dozens of leap leaders. It
delivers hard-earned insights and powerful new tools and perspectives, and
more importantly, a focused formula for setting and realizing leap goals and
strategies. We focus on value creation and share this insight with
your team to define leap goals and strategies for your organization.
