Strategy development
Developing strategies
The process of developing strategies takes the form of a learning and organisational development process, with the aid of innovative methods.
Strategies can be developed alone, with experts or in teams. oezpa recommends the team variant in order to efficiently consolidate the wealth of knowledge and experience, and to achieve increased acceptance of the results.
We work together with you in management groups on your initial position, from which we develop strengths and weaknesses analysis, observe trends, your market and your competitors, assist you in your strategic positioning and develop an attainable implementation programme.
The format of the Future Conference as designed by Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff forms an integral and highly effective strategy development approach within the scope of our methods.
Developing visions
The aim of vision and mission development is to work on the common future, starting with its realisation through this process.
Visions and missions document a mutual view of the future. This offers orientation - in particular in times of extensive uncertainty and change. It is significant here that the process of emergence is at least as important as the actual visualised end product.
We bring with us successfully implemented programmes in the form of our reference programmes and we support you in the realisation of your vision and your mission.
Company mission statement
In the last 50 years, companies with a mission statement have increased their market value by six time more than companies without one (Jim Collins, Immer erfolgreich, DVA Verlag).
A mission statement is a declaration of the general objective and basic principles of a company. It is equally important to employees, proprietors and customers alike. Mission statements are often termed the "Ten Commandments" or the "Basic Law" of a company. The mission statement contains the long-terms goals of a company and provides guidelines on the conduct of its employees. The mission statement helps to develop a complete organisational structure and defines the significance and interplay of its elements.
The mission statement is a part of the vision of a management instrument and fulfils the following functions:
Internally
- Working basis for strategic management
- Foundations for programme focuses and campaigns
- Focussing and controlling
- Legitimation, whereby the mission statement helps to substantiate actions inwardly and outwardly
- Providing orientation and discipline by acting as a guide for the actions of employees and managers
- Aiding integration on the arrival of new personnel
- Inspiration
- Generating commitment and motivation
- Promoting and forming culture
- Increasing the identification of the employees with "their" company
Externally
- Orientation for customers and suppliers
- Public relations instrument (strengthening the image and reputation)
- Appeal to potential employees
- The mission statement provides value-orientated direction as a basis for the actions of a range of target groups.
oezpa will be happy to advise you in the successful formulation and practical execution of your company mission statement.
