Strategy Development
SUMS Consulting supports and facilitates strategy development for its members in all areas of professional services and institutional delivery.
To deliver this service, we typically:
- Use structured techniques
- Consult with stakeholders and facilitate workshops
- Review existing strategies and strategy documents
- Conduct options analysis
- Develop a business case and framework of performance indicators.
Use of structured techniques both speeds up and brings rigour to the strategy development process, enabling the rapid identification of options, identification of issues, and interrogation of assumptions. Depending on the specific need, we select from a range of established tools including:
- Stakeholder analysis
- Outcome analysis (benefits and risk analysis)
- Priority analysis
- Modelling systems dynamics
- Competitor analysis (Five Forces)
- Environment analysis (PESTO).
