Do You Want More Profit?
Well of course you do …. Who would ever say they have enough profit?
The Real question is – how do you get more profit?
There are countless tactics and strategies out there, so how do you get clarity? Where do you focus your time?
Lets break strategy into bite sizes pieces;
Firstly, Strategy is your whole of business plan for the future success of your business.
It is not your just your digital strategy, it is not your just your marketing strategy, it is just not just your capital expenditure strategy.
These are pillars that build into the overall – Business Strategy.
Can you imagine setting off on a long road trip with out a plan on how to get there?
Imagine the time, cost and stress as you aimlessly travel around side streets, wrong highways, wasting money, resources and never achieving your goals. While others who set off after you arrive much quicker.
Business Strategy is just the same.
Secondly, the length of your strategy horizon matters a lot.
Globally, 91% of businesses have a strategy horizon that is too short impacting their ability to achieve their full financial performance.
By increasing your strategy horizon from 0 – 3.6 years to 5.0 years increases your profit by 2.6 times on average.*
Even global businesses can fail on strategy.
McKinsey, the global management consulting firm, surveyed over 2000 global businesses and found that 75% of their strategies would lead to failure.
Thirdly, future research is a key pillar to a successful strategy.
81% of CEOs, Boards and Business Owners surveyed found the single biggest set back to high performing strategy is a lack of future research, trends and insights that informs how to combine and focus your business resources to achieve long-term success.
Using the road trip analogy above, imagine the advantage of a GPS roadmap.
Imagine how much quicker and safer you might arrive?
The reality is you will NEVER be able to achieve long-term, full-financial success as efficiently and at speed without a high performing Strategy.
So to get amazing results like the research results from high performing businesses across the world you need to …
- Build a whole of business Strategy
- Build for a minimum time period of – 5 years. (preferably 10 plus years)
- Ensure it is built using the best forward looking research of matters of interest to your business over the next 5 to 10 plus years.
- Recognise that this is NOT a Do-It-Yourself exercise. Your time is too valuable doing what you do.
This is how we help you….
Firstly, We get amazing research results of the likely future impacts, risks and opportunities for businesses in your industry or related industries over the next 3,5 and 10 plus years.
This research is both global and local.
It helps you achieve to …
- Make Better Decisions Today
- Discover Early Warning Signs
- Stay Further Ahead Of Your Competition
- Improve Confidence to Take Bolder Actions
- Better Prepare For What Is Coming
- Spot New Opportunities
- Mitigate Emerging Risks
As an example – Imagine your business is retail and your segment is female clothing.
You keep up with with your competitors offers, pricing and marketing on a day to day, hour by hour basis.
But, where will your industry be in the next 3, 5,10 years?
Sure you have a gut idea.
- You attend conferences, listen to suppliers and others.
- Read trade journals. Popular business press sections.
- But, so does everyone else in your industry.
You are in a closed loop where everyone is regurgitating the same information and eventually everyone begins to think these are facts on the future of your industry or segment.
Group think sets in.
You lack independent research. You lack the new insights to build a better future strategy to achieve your full financial potential.
When you have new insights and future research, building a high performing 5 or 10 year strategy, is so much clearer.
The insights just pop-off the page.
YES – Thats right, we increase your future success with Futures Research, help you build a high performing 5 year or 10 year plus high performing strategy.
If you think that is impressive, just look at how we do this.
Across the world, very little in the way of new inventions, business model breakthroughs, technology changes occur without being written about first.
Research papers from governments, universities, businesses, trade journals, research organisations, and the list goes on.
All record new or soon to be future breakthroughs, successes and future risks.
The problem is every industry is changing at speed in every country at once.
One change in an unrelated industry in one part of the world may end up being a business breakthrough or competitor in your industry next year.
It is so hard to not only keep up but stand back and get a global then local perspective that allows you to build these insights into a high performance strategy.
Futures Research is future focussed. It only researches for likely matters of interest for your business between 2020 to 2035.
Lets look at a real example.
A United States convenience store chain wanted to know the likely changes, impacts, risks to their business model over the next few years. This is a summary of the key findings …
- 18 high level new risks were identified
- 23 new opportunities were identified
- 13 issues of board significance were identified
The results were a limited trial of new store formats, with new offers to reduce future risks and take opportunity of new demand not previously recognised.
Further, there were changes in how they negotiated future contracts to minimise the likely future risks of obsolescence not previously identified.
All of this research was completed within 2 weeks.
Who uses this research?

U.S. Military,
Governments,
Universities, Research Institutions,
OECD and thousands of others…

- Strategy is not a date on your calendar.
- Strategy starts before you begin budgeting.
- Strategy at the start is a creative exercise built with strategic research.
