Strategy

Strategy is always participative whether you plan it that way or not. You need people to be deeply engaged in making the strategy happen. Why not involve them sooner, by harnessing the collective intelligence, energy and insight of your teams?

Participative strategy isn’t about making the organisation a democracy – not everyone has a vote. But it is about getting better data and richer insights from close to the customer and the factory. A good strategy process should surprise you. With GameShift you’ll find energies you didn’t know existed in people you didn’t know cared. And you’ll come out with a strategic intent that is stronger for having that wider involvement with a much greater chance of successfully being implemented to deliver the outcomes you need.
