Strategy Management

Understand how technology can help and plan for the future

Change is increasingly driven by technology and it’s being adopted by customers and your competitors at an ever-faster rate.

You need to think further ahead than the next 18 months and help understand the impact to maintain a competitive advantage.

You need more than forecasting next year's budget with requests coming from business peers…..

You can help inspire that change by providing an understanding of what options are available to executives to make better decisions on furthering the vision of the company.

"Baxter Thompson Associates really helped the team understand the role and what it means to be a Strategic Partner to the business. Fantastic insight from obvious years of experience in the role. Used the many company examples from our discussion to help understand and gave us real confidence in applying the many tools and techniques in a practical way."

— Tom Rees, Head of Business Solutions, Barnardos

To gain alignment and direction with your business peers on the opportunity that technology can bring means a fundamental shift in mindset and approach. Think "Create, Innovate and Communicate" when you have a strategic opportunity:

Create: Define a corporate strategy with basic market analysis, focusing on the values and the vision of the company.
Innovate: Practice prototyping. Understand how to provide insight to inform business peers. Be introduced to minimum viable products and business models. Track lessons learnt as a means to innovate.
Communicate: Understand the power of capability models and practice their creation. Define a roadmap that represents your team's long term plan. Create a strategic plan that you can use to align with other departments.
