Strategy is a plan to win.
Without one, can you really expect to?
Strategy in our thinking has three major parts: business, brand
and identity. Successful organizations are able to communicate each
part and how they support each other. Brand strategy supports
business strategy. Identity strategy supports brand strategy. Seems
like a lot of strategies but it makes great sense when put into
practice.
Can you state your company's
business strategy?
In the 20-plus years we've been working for clients, we've found
many business have a difficult time describing their plan to win.
The bigger the company, the harder it is to find someone that can
state it with clarity. We know that understanding a business'
strategy is the key to enabling brand and identity strategies to
foster success. Why is something so critical to success so hard to
find?
Pictures make strategic concepts
tangible
The quickest and most effective way to define, communicate and
refine a complex idea is with a good picture. When communicating
strategy, a chart, diagram, image or graphic rendering of some kind
will always help establish and present a clearer image of what a
win looks like than words alone. Words and briefs can elaborate and
define steps to be taken but the picture makes the idea more
tangible.
At Forward we help you refine and communicate your business
strategy more clearly so we can then define and align brand and
identity strategies to help your efforts succeed. Can you
communicate your company's business strategy to your peers? Or they
to you? If not, your brand can most likely work harder for you.
