How MakeMyStrategy™ works

1

Knowledge gathering for the current situation

You are guided through a structured model - step by step - and are sure to cover every corner of your business.

Data and knowledge about what affects your business, both internally and externally, is collected.

Along the way, you can involve everyone you want and supplement with all the strategy models, materials, analyzes, budget, etc. that you find relevant.

The collected knowledge is boiled down and the essence forms the basis for the company's further strategic development.

The future direction

You may already have your vision, mission and values already formulated and just need to import them into MakeMyStrategy™. If not, we'll help you formulate your vision, mission and values.

You get the opportunity to think outside the box, as we've prepared everything you need to work with future scenarios.

And if sustainability is an important factor for you, you'll also find an optional section where you can work even more in-depth with the SDGs.

MakeMyStrategy™ automatically collects all your important sub-conclusions and takes them with you.

Opt-outs and the need for change

Once you have collected everything, you are automatically presented with a very clear overview containing a mix of all your sub-conclusions.

Based on specific criteria, you make strategic opt-outs from this mix of sub-conclusions.

You are then guided through a process where you map the change needs the company is facing. This is done by actively using the selected sub-conclusions.

We also call the change needs red and green traffic lights and they create the basis for the development the company is facing.

Everything is collected with a clear indication of which choices have led to the conclusion. This way, you can always explain why a given action is being taken.

Overview with Must-Win battles and KPI

To ensure focus and overview, the change needs, expressed as traffic lights, are grouped into themes.

The themes are formulated as must-win battles to reach the goal.

Under each "battle" it is then clear which activities need to be initiated to address the change needs, expressed as traffic lights.

To measure progress, you can insert strategic KPIs at the Must-Win battle level.

With Must-Win Battles, you "eat the elephant in small bites" and you can communicate in a much simpler way.
5

Vibrant and engaging action plan

MakeMyStrategy™ automatically converts all your input into a concrete action plan.

The action plan is divided into Must-Win battles with associated measurement points.

You can involve relevant people and give them responsibility for activities.

The activities, which are clearly sourced, are continuously prioritized and along the way you can update the status of each activity.

Everything is automatically updated as you make changes, so you always have an accurate snapshot of how the execution is going.

Output is generated automatically


Being able to communicate and document the strategy is crucial for success.

A communication package is automatically generated consisting of:

1. a concrete action plan
2. an executive summary
3. a detailed strategy plan with full traceability and appendix overview
4. a number of templates for graphic presentation

In addition, you get a checklist for successful execution.

All output can be easily set up with your own logo and colors.

Once you have corrected the consequences, you can generate an updated strategy plan with updated output with just one click.
