A Good Way To Get Strategic Insight For Your Business

By Georgia Diaz


For a business to prosper and continue to grow in future years, managers understand that particular strategies need to be put in place. However, not many people really know how to give their company a competitive edge, and leave others in their dust. Strategy can become so complicated that even the most intelligent of business men battle to grasp the real concept, or there so many problems with technical side of things like strategic insight.

A great number of business leaders have experienced wondrous results by using a few simple strategical tools. A clear strategy to improve the workings of a business both internally and externally can have fantastic results in terms of profit. When working with just three circles, someone can create a powerful visual representation of the meaning of strategy. This is provided that the circles are correctly drawn so that they display an adequate relationship between them.

A team of business leaders will initially concentrate on the first circle. This is a representation of the clients' wants or needs. Thought should be placed into what their customers could possibly benefit from, and the advantages of making such changes for the business itself. For example, the customer may appreciate a fast delivery of service above many other things.

Even though customers are sometimes more silent than vocal, a business needs to consider what they need most, and how they feel about the services or products that are on offer. The second circle will determine how positively or negatively the client relates to the business, from the view of the team leaders. The more the first two circles cross over each other the better the business is handling their customers.

It is usually the case that an entrepreneur or business must work out what product or service will be profitable. Customers won't say much about what they want, but they will buy products that may significantly improve their lives. If a company can sell something that offers many benefits, they will surely be successful. A need that is not voiced by a customer could be a huge opportunity for a company.

Now only the third circle is left to complete. This one is saved for information regarding other businesses of the same nature, and will help the company to determine the positive and negative aspects of their competition. As you can see, the circles all pinpoint very important, but different portions of the business, and help the managers to find room for improvement.

Questions are very helpful when filling in the circles. Since that a question requires an answer, it is not just a dead statement that inspires no further debate. Different questions are applicable for each circle, for example, questions asking how the company can provide better services can be relevant to the second circle.

If there is any way to confirm a customer's viewpoint, it should be pursued. Additional information direct from the customer will provide further strategic insight for the business. The method described above for working out strategies will also help a company to eliminate services or products that are not appreciated. Sometime it is discovered that customers would rather not be subjected to certain advertising campaigns, or certain promotions, even though the managers of the business have felt that these were critical aspects of marketing.
