Business Strategy

“Strategy matters. It’s too easy to do the wrong things right. Good business = strategic + operational excellence”.

Bruce Millner – Managing Director, Millner Advisory

There’s no hard and fast way for a company to execute its vision. Conventional wisdom suggests that strategy must be linked to growth, world-class excellence, the need for constant change, a lean approach to cost cutting, and agility to meet market changes.

Not all company’s work like this, and there is a strong body of evidence to show that focussing on the above has many unintended consequences that can actually hinder a company in its pursuit of turning vision into reality.

Perhaps it’s time to time to reorganise the strategic map? Our times bring many challenges, a lot of uncertainty, and a certain amount of brain fog as executives scramble to re-engineer business operations and strategy to meet changing patterns of consumption and global uncertainty.

We can help you develop a winning business strategy and turn it into a set of implementation initiatives necessary for effective execution.

In New Zealand nearly all businesses follow conventional wisdom when setting their strategic intent, with very average results.

For a business to shape itself on its own terms rather than following the pack represents an opportunity to stand out and achieve success where others struggle. At Millner Advisory we can help to make this happen. The five management practices are an approach to strategic intent that makes it easier to succeed, and more importantly, to constantly succeed.

Strategic Planning need not be a daunting exercise. We will work with you to determine which areas of your business require a renewed focus. We will help you to set realistic goals and priorities and determine what need to be done to mobilise people and resources to make it happen.

Your business will be focussed on what matters with clear “SMART” deliverables – specific, measurable, agreed, relevant and time-framed. Your thinking and will be governed by how you see yourselves – clear minded about what you can do best, everyone focussed on the same goals, a vibrant work culture with everyone on board, focus on spending where it matters and pruning costs where there’s little value. Reimagine your capabilities, create demand, and lead your industry on your own terms.
