What allows strategic innovators to predict the future is their reliance on measures of BOTH ‘strategic’ health AND ‘financial’ health of their businesses.
By adding strategic measures people it’s possible to get a couple of really powerful indicators:
1. An early warning system that allows them to question things before a crisis occurs, AND
2. A means of identifying new unique strategic positions to sustain growth.
The list of strategic health measures is long, they may include; customer satisfaction, market share, changes in the industry and the company’s fit with the changing environment, distributor and supplier feedback, employees morale, strength of company culture, innovation and new products in the pipe line.
Now if we are in agreement that these pretty fundamental measures tell us a lot about business survival and success, a simple question remains to be answered, namely; what tools do we have that can help us do the job of finding superior strategies – and if we want to go further with this – how good are they anyway?
I’ll tell you in my next post
Best wishes
