Step into the future…for just a moment

Companies spend lots of time predicting what sales will be like in the future. But we spend little time actually thinking in any serious way about that future – it is the underlying dynamics, the sweeping trajectory of new competition, the way customers will evolve, the collusion course one industry may be on with another.

Take a moment to “futurecast” – to examine the world your company will do business in 2020 to get a different view of your challenge. Dream. Build. Expand. Incorporate your new perspective on how to handle the challenges at hand. 		 


 


Strategy Check:
Does your SWOT consider the following?
  • What is happening externally and internally that will affect your company?
  • Who are your customers?
  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of each competitor?
  • What are the driving forces behind sales trends?
  • What are important and potentially important markets?
  • What is happening in the world that might affect your company?

Often a SWOT is done, but then not incorporated into the strategic plan. Don’t let that happen to your planning. Make sure your internal and external assessment drives your organizational strategy and your goals. And that your SWOT includes futurecasting…get ahead of the change curve, instead of behind!
