Methodology

Introduction

© CONE ADVISOR 11

Introduction

• Sustainable strategy is achieved by doing things in a new way – business model innovation.

• Continuous renewal becomes the only sustainable strategy – strategic agility

• This is new to strategic thinking, which until now has mainly pursued the benefits of sustainable strategy without being able to identify its main factor – agile strategy execution

Traditional vs. Agile Strategy

Traditional Strategy...• Plan• Document• Based on Analysis and formal

step-by-step process• “Lots of paper before action...”

Implementation• 70% of strategy (plan)

implementation fails....

Agile Strategy...• Right mindset and business rules• Dialogue and efficient planning• Based on testing in practice

(iterations)• “Action and talking at same time...”

Easy to Lead• Because people make it happened...
