Methodology For Success
Create action plans for viability based on learnings.
Consider short/mid/long-term outlooks. Evaluate how ongoing changes and reactions to your products or services will affect your organization in the months and years to come. This will reveal how you should respond, which will likely include modifying your product and service lines in some capacity. Be careful not to plan in a vacuum: seek input from your board, investors, vendors, peers and employees.
Implement your plans and measure results.
You’ve assessed and planned for the future of your business, now it’s time to see if those plans are viable. Implement them, then step back and watch how the market responds. If the reaction is favorable, you are on solid footing and can keep refining. If it’s not, go back to the drawing board to make additional strategic changes to your business.
Invest in what’s working and divest of what’s not.
Nothing ever goes exactly as planned, so as you continue to measure your business performance, invest further in the things that are working and get rid of those that are not, keeping your stakeholders informed as you go. Your goal is to maximize the performance of your transformed company and establish safety nets so you have a more sustainable and efficient model going forward. The next time disruption hits, you want to be ready.
Adapt to ongoing change and operate at a high capacity.
Success! Your business is operating at a high capacity, you are meeting or exceeding forecasts, and you may be looking to expand into new products, services or geographies. At this point, if you are truly going to win amidst ongoing disruption, you need to have built and invested in tangible changes that have innovated your business. After all, the goal is not just to survive each disruption, but to come out on the other side better positioned for profitability and for meeting new challenges head on.
Transforming your business is crucial to surviving disruption. But it can be difficult to know where to start. Get an assessment of where you're at in your journey so you know how to best reach your destination.
