...and why every Australian company
needs to rethink the way they do it!
![Page 3: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Australian economy is going well...
AAA Rating

Thanks largely to our neighbors in Asia.

But not all good things last forever right?
![Page 6: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So how adaptable is your digital strategy for
the inevitability of change?
![Page 7: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Can it handle change in Macroeconomics + an Internet Minute
![Page 8: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A great strategy must make pieces of a puzzle !t to tell one
“cohesive story”.
![Page 9: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But in an unpredictable environment, is your digital
strategy looking for (measuring) the right patterns?
How well does it consider Return on Investment?
Is it built to handle change?
![Page 10: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Too many strategies are built 'in luxury'. So called strategists are bloating budgets and overspending in
low returning channels.
Even worst, they have built their strategies on the frame that everything will remain as is.
![Page 11: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HOW WE
NEED TO
(re)THINK ABOUT
STRATEGY
![Page 12: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A digital strategy requires both analysis (insights) and
decisions (execution).
![Page 13: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Analysis (data) and Decision making (action) are like partners dancing.
![Page 14: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The dance is always moving and the partners must work
together to execute the moves.
![Page 15: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
But sometimes the dance doesn’t go as planned.
![Page 16: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
THE NEW RULES TO ACCEPT!
![Page 17: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Strategies must be lean.
![Page 18: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Strategy is an iterative process that relies on the cycle of analysis
and agile decision making for when things don’t go to plan and
the dance must change. “
![Page 19: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strategy is now 80% agile decision making and 20%
analysis.
![Page 20: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Be prepared to pause or drop a plan(e.g. blogger outreach)
from the strategy at any moment, and let that be ‘OK’.
![Page 21: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Each touchpoint in the strategy must consider Return on Investment.
![Page 22: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What are you investing? Time? Money? Creativity?
How are you measuring your return?Sales? Productivity? Engagement?Awareness?
Ask yourself these questions?
![Page 23: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
&How does this ladder up to the
business objective?
![Page 24: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Are your touch-points optimised for performance?
If you could get a better ROI out of Google PPC than Yahoo, then you would invest
more in Google right?
Well...make sure you’ve considered the ROI at a touch-point vs touch-point level where the goal
is the same.
![Page 25: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. The whole team must ‘get-it’ and have the ability to ‘do it’.
![Page 26: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If a strategy can’t be executed then it’s useless.
![Page 27: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
To execute a cohesive strategy, you must have a cohesive team.
![Page 28: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
True Success is in Collaboration!“The right people, with a uni!ed vision
that have the ability to make agile decisions as one entity”
![Page 29: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Consider:When building the team
What skills are required?Who has those skills?
Are the people available?Do they have the power to make decisions
(empowerment)?
What experience do they have?
![Page 30: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Consider: Nimble Frameworks
•What’s the process required to make changes? •Are regulatory bodies involved? •What’s the turnaround time to get a green light?
Internal Process Considerations
![Page 31: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Consider: Nimble Frameworks
Knowledge Share
•Does everybody involved know the strategy and know their role in that strategy? •Are you keeping documents and !les in a place all required team members can access and share?
![Page 32: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Consider: Nimble Frameworks
Communication
How often do you meet/communicate? Keep people accountable and clear. However, If you meet too
often, you don’t make enough decisions. If you don’t meet often enough, you’ll make the wrong decisions.
![Page 33: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
4. You can change the plan, not the goal.
![Page 34: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Contingency PlanningWhat’s your reaction plan? How are you being proactive?
The risks: Identify as many as you can, work in your teams and user their expertise to list them, then rank the risk by impact.
+ Find at least one alternative solution to every risk!
![Page 35: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Contingency PlanningWhat’s your reaction plan? How are you being proactive?
The Merlin:Go two years ahead from today, look back and ask yourself what could’ve you done
different?
E.g. What mistakes did you make?What decision didn’t you take?
![Page 36: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Summary
You can’t plan for everything, a part of being agile means to acknowledge you can’t predict the future but are
prepared to accept whatever happens as a means to a new opportunity.
![Page 37: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
SummaryTruths:
The great Australian economy won’t last forever and when things sour, without the new rules applied you can expect...
•Strategies that aren’t nimble will resist change. These will fail your objectives.•You will be forced to make decisions, but won’t know what’s working and what isn’t.•You will have to cut costs but won’t know it’s impact on your return until it’s too late.
One word, CHAOS!
![Page 38: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Summary
However,by having:1. A lean strategy.2.ROI Performance considered at each touchpoint and is measured correctly.3. A cohesive team with empowered people.4.Contingency plans.
![Page 39: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
You will be able to make better decisions with less process i.e. more agility.
![Page 40: Rethink Digital Strategy Australia!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54826e12b07959520c8b47b5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
And each decision will be accountable, measurable, and performance optimisable!
