Building the strategy for an enterprise or a selected functional area

Challenge

A change of the economic, legal or regulatory environment or the technological profile of the market forces organisations to decide on taking new business directions. As a result, they face the challenge of developing a new or modifying its existing operational strategy in a way that will give them a competitive advantage, secure a satisfactory level of profit to their shareholders and ensure sustainable growth to the entire company.

Carrywater’s solution

We offer our support in establishing a coherent and effective strategy for the entire organisation or its selected functional area. Working together with the Customer, we establish the existing and the desired market position of its company and identify its strengths and the weaknesses that need improving. We build a concept of the company’s development based on key and complementary choices (strategic options) which shall allow the Customer to use the existing opportunities and gain a competitive edge.

Business value

We guarantee creating a comprehensive and measurable strategy of operations — one that shall not only allow taking the actions and launching the projects that shall aid an effective execution of the Customer’s strategic goals, but also ones that shall allow its company to obtain a competitive advantage and focus on the most profitable areas of its business.

Operational strategies developed with Carrywater’s support allow increasing the company’s goodwill and make it more attractive to its (prospective) investors.

Deliverables

Depending on the scope agreed, our involvement usually produces the following deliverables:

• Business environment analysis
• SWOT analysis
• Stakeholder map for the existing and the new strategy
• Enterprise strategy (3/5-year timeline)
• Functional strategy (2/3-year timeline)
