How MakeMyStrategy™ works

Gathering knowledge

You are guided through a simple and practical workflow, where you are sure to get around every corner of your business.

You will gather and process knowledge about the factors that affect your business, both from the inside and from the outside - and of course with a sustainability angle.

Along the way, you can incorporate any strategy models, materials, analyses, budgets and anything else you find relevant. This means that everything that has an impact on the strategy is brought together and managed from one place.

The knowledge gathered is processed to find the essence that will form the basis for the company's further strategic development.

Strategic choices

MakeMyStrategy™ collects and manages everything for you, so you only have to concentrate on the specific task at hand.

The main findings from the knowledge gathering are automatically presented to you as strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats - in other words, the conclusion of the knowledge gathering is captured in a SWOT chart.

You prioritise, making strategic choices to ensure your strategy is sharp and focused.

Along the way, you also focus on sustainability to secure your business's future.

Everything is summarised with a clear indication of the choices that led to the conclusion. You can thus always explain why a given action is taken.

Change needs

As a link between the company's current situation and future goals, the company's changing needs are identified.

The needs for change are illustrated as red and green traffic lights, respectively, making them easy to communicate, both externally and internally.

The traffic lights create the foundation for a common understanding of the current situation as well as the basis for the development the company is facing.

Vision, mission and values

You may already have your vision, mission and values formulated and then you just need to import them into MakeMyStrategy™.

If not, MakeMyStrategy™'s simple workflow will help you formulate your vision, mission and values.

You'll have the opportunity to work with future scenarios and then you'll also be challenged on the whole green transition.

The aim is to create a clear direction that everyone in the company works towards.

SDGs as growth gears

Thinking sustainably is a growing competitive force among companies.

For some companies it is now a requirement, for others an option.

You will automatically be guided around a series of questions that will enable you to create a sustainable strategy.

And if you want to work even more in depth on the SDGs, you will be guided in a simple way.

Overview with Must-Win battles

To ensure focus and overview, the traffic lights are grouped into 3-5 themes.

The themes are formulated as "battles" to be won (Must-Win battles) to reach the goal.

For each "battle" to be won, you can now see which traffic lights you are managing and which activities need to be initiated as a result.

EASY and SIMPLE.

To measure progress, you can choose to set strategic performance indicators (KPIs) at the Must-Win battle level.

Concrete activity plan

MakeMyStrategy™ turns all your input into a concrete action plan.

For a better overview, the action plan is divided according to the selected Must-Win battles.

This way you have a much better overview and can involve relevant people much easier, so the strategy is present for everyone.

You simply indicate the quarter and year from each activity.

And then you can add budget based on the new strategy, if desired.

Output

Output is generated automatically when you finally approve your work.

You get a concrete action plan, an executive summary (management tool) and a detailed strategic plan with full traceability (documentation).

You also get a set of templates for graphical presentation, so you can e.g. communicate your strategy on just one page.

In addition, you get a comprehensive overview of all the materials you have incorporated.

And finally, you get a series of tips and a checklist for successful execution.

All output can be easily set up with your own logo, colours, etc.

Quite light in strategy

You can revisit the strategy at any time and correct it in a smart way.

Any correction inevitably has a number of consequences that can be extremely complex to work out.

But with MakeMyStrategy™, you take a copy of your latest strategy, select the item you want to fix, and fix it.

You are then shown where the correction has consequences and therefore where you need to rethink things.

Once you've made the impact correction, you can generate an updated strategy plan with updated output with just one click.
