We identify significant trends that you need to embrace to stay relevant as well as disruptors that could significantly impact your organisation in the future, for good or bad. This phase also includes a competitor analysis, understanding key intrinsic and extrinsic drivers, and how competitors are positioned relative to each other, including their unique points of difference, and gaps that in the market that provide opportunity for growth.

 The ACT module identifies the key tactics that are necessary to deliver your people, planet and profit strategic initiatives. This is where you get your hands dirty and get real about what needs to be done to a achieve your strategic objectives.

GOVERN

The GOVERN module is about setting clear KPI’s, being transparent about them and  holding yourself accountable for their delivery. Achievement of financial ambitions will never come at the expense of people and planet objectives. A truly purposeful business, intent on having a positive impact on the world, will measure its success in a broader and more holistic manner than has been done in the past, with people and planet objectives considered equally important to profit objectives. During this module we differentiate between legislative requirements, customer expectations and business opportunities to drive a unique point of difference.
