Blue sky possibilities through strategy and tactics for growth

Services for growing a business, building financial sustainability, or delivering sustainable growth. Each requires a strategy for the business and operations, as well as for marketing, communications, digital, and brand. Success starts with a strategy that defines short and long-term business objectives and growth opportunities. Then a tactical plan to deliver results. Lantian’s services include strategic business reviews to assess the current situation and define options to deliver objectives. Such as business, financial, customer, marketing, communications, digital, and brand growth. As well as an operations plan aligned with strategy to achieve objectives.

Strategic options can create new opportunities. Existing resources and relationships can be leveraged. Expanding a geographic footprint locally or internationally. Defining a customer strategy. Supply chain efficiencies, or productivity gains. Including alignment of resources, systems, processes, and procedures with strategy.

 

A commercial perspective, marketing orientation, customer focus, and service excellence are the basis for a new strategy. Market prioritisation, channel strategies to manage risk, customer precision targeting and engagement as well the marketing, communications, digital, and brand strategies and plans to deliver objectives.

Interim Chief Executive Officer, an assignment

Services provision through interim executive assignments can have diverse requirements. From leadership, strategy, governance, and organisational change, to operational management. Because of this, interim executive management can also require diverse functional skills and extensive soft skills. Plus resilience, adaptability, tenacity, and capability to manage uncertainty. So an ability to provide deep sector experience, and transferable skills from multiple industry sectors is advantageous to delivering outcomes.

 

But, importantly, the personal attribute to leave ego at the door. And the capability to drop in, fit in, lead, motivate, support, change, disrupt, calm, transition, implement, and mentor. Delivering outcomes for businesses, and Boards.
