Delivered a comprehensive strategic assessment, analysis, and implementation process for a Bay-area software company. The process included a one-page, comprehensive, systemic representation of the company and key stakeholders; an analysis of key trends affecting the company; a assessment of stakeholder objectives, expectations and deliverables; identification of key strategic leverage points in the company; and a set of new, systemic performance indicators for each functional area in the form of leading (vs. traditional lagging) indicators. The primary investor in the company (a former McKinsey consultant) touted the analysis as “better than anything I’ve seen at McKinsey”. For the team, the process enabled each executive to clarify their role in the strategy, to understand (even challenge and refine) each function’s contribution to the strategy, and literally “see” the company as a whole, interdependent system. |
