From strategic inspiration to action!
Accelerating global challenges – and opportunities – mean business as usual in twenty, ten, or even five years, will be radically different to what we have known before. In an age of turmoil where visibility on the future is low, one thing is clear: Being able to anticipate and plan for change is more critical than ever, but few businesses have strong capabilities in this area. The missing link is often not information but the ability to translate trends and changes into actions that can drive future success.
That’s where we come in :
Strategy Dynamics Global SA helps organizations and their leaders to navigate a complex, interconnected and uncertain world to move from strategic inspiration to action to drive future success.
What We Do
Our ultimate aim is to help organizations and their leaders translate information about the changes in the world around us into positive actions today that can drive future success. The strategic inspiration of trends analysis is necessary but not sufficient: insights into what it means for your organization and corresponding action is the goal.
Depending on where your organization is in the process for moving from information to action, each of our integrated suite of services can be tailored to your needs.
Research
Research activities focus on providing inspiration, both about the implications of change, and about how to move from trends to action. Our reports provide frameworks and data-rich analysis of key areas of changee.g. digitalization, demographic and social shifts, offering insights for all organizations into the potential implications of major changes. Flagship publications include The Global Trends Report 2013 and The Global Trends Fieldbook. Industry Briefs look at how trends will impact specific markets, while free monthly briefings, interviews, and articles offer more food for thought.
We also undertake customized research for clients on specific markets and topics, informed by trends, e.g. market and competitor analysis, innovation assessments, and digital marketing innovations.
Education
Educational activities focus on expanding understanding and application of global trends among your target audience. This includes developing general and customized educational materials, e.g. case studies, trend overviews and toolkits to explore the specific implications of trends for your organization.
We also work with leading companies, educational institutions, business networks and conferences to create executive education and trend exploration sessions that bring global trends to action thinking into your organization.
Strategy
Strategy is about looking forward, understanding the strengths of your organization and the opportunities and challenges faced, to build a vision, develop options for success, make informed choices, and plan to achieve it. Trends are a first input, but ultimately developing strategy is about harnessing hearts and minds to developing a compelling ambition and taking action on it. We offer significant experience with leading companies around the world in developing fully customized programs and sessions to drive strategy and innovation, as well as broader workshops on trends to strategic action and innovation. We also undertake speaking engagements on strategy and trends topics.
