Market Strategy
One of the key advantages
of the Chief Strategist Program is that of brining in
an outside expert to evaluate your marketing strategy
from a global industry perspective. How your strategy
weighs up against competitors, what can be done to
improve or polish your companies' approach.
Exploiting industry channels, identifying and
approaching partners. What's missing, what wrong and
what will and wont work.
| A key advantage
of the program is the ability of the Chief
Strategist to access resources that would not
ordinarily be available to 'full time
employees', particularly when it comes to
competitive analysis. |

The Chief Strategist
Program analyzes your strategy against the industry
at large, leading to the development of strategy that
optimize your product and corporate position.
Product Strategy
The planning and
positioning of products require much more than just a great ideas,
or simply the assembly of components. Thorough analysis of industry
trends and directions are crucial throughout a product lifecycle.
Numerous studies have revealed the small cost
of modifying product strategy in early phases of development, verses
the extreme cost of modification in the latter phases of
the development cycle.
Products features, ease
of use, price, marketing and sales approach, etc.
must all be weighed up against the competition and
general market forces (C-Law's). Market and consumer
expectations, whether from a standards perspectives,
price expectations, or even simple aesthetics,
amongst other important factors, are unfortunately
often far from an engineer's drawing board. The Chief
Strategist's responsibility is to constructively
critique products, providing guidance from both a
marketing and design perspective.
The Chief Strategist
Program provides and invaluable sounding board for
your product strategy.
Corporate Strategy
While General Corporate
Strategy is not the primary focus of the program, the
'outsiders' perspective of the Chief Strategist
allows certain advantages in the perception of
Corporate structure, and the efficiency of an
organization. Non-politicized advice 'cautions the
emperor without clothes'.
The Chief Strategist may
be applied to general business strategy, operating
procedures and implementation strategy including the
architecture and implementation of internal systems.
The broad industry
exposure of the Chief Strategist brings new
techniques to your organization.
