The strategy that built your business can eventually become the strategy that holds it back particularly when nobody is prepared to challenge what has worked in the past.
In this episode, Peter Boolkah uses Kodak as a cautionary example of what can happen when an established company fails to respond effectively to major changes in its market.
Peter then introduces a practical four-step process for conducting strategic reviews:
You will also discover why strategic reviews should involve people from different departments, how fresh perspectives expose assumptions, and why reviews must become part of the company’s regular operating rhythm.
For founder-led businesses, this is especially important. When strategy exists only inside the founder’s head or when nobody feels able to challenge the founder—the business becomes more dependent on one person’s perspective.
A proper strategic-review process helps develop stronger leaders, distribute responsibility and ensure that past success does not become tomorrow’s Hamster Wheel Trap®.
