Strategy Consulting

Business Challenges Futures

Are you responsible for a business operation?

Do you feel that your business could be doing better?

How clear is your 3 to 5 year future?

Are all your managers and staff are pulling in the same direction all the time?

Focused motivated team, clear shared vision of the future goal, independently validated strategy – sound attractive?

EuroMondiale strategy consultants can help make it your reality.

Pull of the future vision – coaching and workshops to bring expression to the future
Healthcheck – objective assessment of present realities including market and product status analysis, review of strength of internal processes and people
Reverse Planning – detailed strategy and plans developed working back from the desired future to the present

Power of Vision

Vision – an overused cliché or a practical, business tool?

We acknowledge that in the wrong hands it is discredited management-speak. In our hands Vision becomes a power for the future.

A clear, well imagined statement of the feel and look of your desired future acts like an irresistible magnet. It pulls people together. It pulls decision-making processes together. It pulls action inexorably to the agreed future state.

In the absence of such a magnet, running a business becomes more like trying to herd cats to push a boulder up a hill!

Where do we start? At EuroMondiale we start with your dream. Our consultants start work with the leader to draw out the dream (hope or even just a wish) helping them to make it real in the imagination. Then through workshops, discussions and even presentations the future possibilities are shared. This process will enrich the Vision as people say “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could also do ….” It is also enriched by the doubters with their reasons of why it will not work – as Leaders respond with “If it overcame that objection would it be good and worth having?” The result is a goal that incorporates the aspirations of many of your people – a shared vision with buy-in.

EuroMondiale tools for this include

Individual Coaching
Facilitated Workshops
World Café collaborative creativity process
Appreciative Enquiry processes to unstick, energise and create co-operation with many stakeholders

Reality Healthcheck

See the wood for the trees! Step back from the day-to-day activity to assess product performance and analyse the market. An almost impossible task for hard pressed managers targeted on current period success.

EuroMondiale consultants provide independent and critical appraisal of a business’ health. Our consultants have extensive executive experience, are technically savvy, and wide market understanding. We create pragmatic, solid analysis with practical advice. No “wet behind the ears platitudes” from us!

Market Analysis – understand the dynamics in the marketplace through competitor reviews and customer surveys
Product Set Reviews – challenging appraisal of existing products and product sets; sort out the Dogs, Stars and Cash Cows; identify product opportunities.
Pulse Meter – take the pulse of the organisation; listen to staff hopes and concerns; isolate communication sclerosis points
Structured Healthchecks – for small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) we undertake holistic, structured reviews of all aspects of business health.

The Reality Healthcheck provides an essential, tangible base from which to plan the route to the envisioned future.

Backward Planning

Successful leaders live their lives backwards!

Standing on the viewpoint of their imagined successful future they can see the steps that they need to take to get to the future. They see the hurdles along the way that they will have needed to find ways round or over. They create plans that make sense to their followers.

EuroMondiale consultants facilitate the development of robust plans and establish practical “project management” disciplines to aid successful implementation.

There are often multiple paths to the goal. Scenario Planning workshops enable our consultants to help clients anticipate and handle the “What if’s” of life.
