Business strategists in today's small to mid market businesses play an important role, but in many cases the attributes of being successful in that role are deceptive and misunderstood- mainly people think they are only "ideas" people with no execution. This is far from the case.
Strategists take the ideas and visions that business leaders develop and transform them into designed plans that can be turned into successful reality. They should also be able to review existing plans and strategies and make proposals that lead to consistent development, including improved communication which is paramount to a companies success. They are often tasked to create short term strategies while also in parallel thinking like the long term.
Last but not least, strategists should help managers and business owners identify opportunities where there seems to be no possibility. Strategists advocate setting an example, a phenomenal aspect that helps them build strength among their staff. The task of strategic planning is not easy to find - and in most cases is not handled correctly. The biggest problem being that people try to think and execute at the same time.
If you are at a stage where you could use a guide to figure out what is the hardest thing, it is time to hire a strategist.
It might be simple things running through your head like:
Is my team focused on the same goal?
Are their marketing opportunities that we are missing out on?
Where are the gaps?
How do we go to the next level?
How can I work on the business instead of in it?
Are you the bottleneck of your teams business?
Often times, an outside pair of eyes can just can see things you can't. And it's because we aren't in your business every day. In fact, strategists are often brought in to help create and implement your strategy. This happens all the time. You have a great meeting, and the business leaders come up with new ideas and visions to grow and be more successful. But all of these discussions are at the 50,000 foot view. Thats when you need the person that switch to 6 feet to implement and get things done.
Strategists can take these ideas on board, create workable plans, implement them strategically, and ultimately implement them. We typically are working with new entrepreneurs and experienced business owners who are willing to make changes to increase their income, impact and enjoyment of their work.
Companies often face bottlenecks that determine their success or failure, and the help of a business strategist is urgently needed. Strategists need basic management skills to maintain the ties between subordinates and management.
Corporate strategy is a practice that involves knowing the best strategy to achieve the desired results for the organization.
