Strategic Planning
Entrepreneurs and business managers are often so preoccupied
with immediate issues that they lose sight of their ultimate
objectives. That's why preparation of a strategic plan is
a virtual necessity, especially when it comes to entering
a country with different levels of sophistication and complexity.
Benefits of Strategic Planning
Strategic planning serves a variety of purposes in your organization,
including to:
- Clearly define the purpose of your organization
and to establish realistic goals and objectives consistent
with that mission in a defined time frame within the organization’s
capacity for implementation.
- Communicate those goals and objectives
to your organization’s constituents.
- Develop a sense of ownership of the
plan.
- Ensure the most effective use is made
of the organization’s resources by focusing the resources
on the key priorities.
- Provide a base from which progress can
be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change
when needed.
- Bring together of everyone’s best
and most reasoned efforts have important value in building
a consensus about where an organization is going.
When would you need Minfon to assist you in strategic
planning?
You may want to consider retaining Minfon if:
- Your organization has not conducted
strategic planning for a foreign market before.
- For a variety of reasons, previous strategic
planning was not deemed to be successful.
- There is no one in the organization
whom members feel has sufficient facilitation skills and
foreign experience.
- No one in the organization feels committed
to facilitating strategic planning for the organization.
- Leaders believe that an inside facilitator
will either inhibit participation from others or will not
have the opportunity to fully participate in planning themselves.
- Leaders want an objective voice, i.e.,
someone who is not likely to have strong predispositions
about the organization's strategic issues and ideas.
Strategy
Implementation
You've completed your strategic planning process. Your team
has developed a vision - one of the most powerful leadership
tools. Now, how do you use this tool? How do you communicate
your strategic plan with your staff when they have different
background and speak different languages?
Many of today's entrepreneurs and top executives are far better
at developing strategy than executing it and overcoming the
political and organizational obstacles that stand in their way.
Most of them also underestimate the complexity of leading and
managing a diverse of group of people.
In fact, to execute strategy is to execute change at all levels
of an organization. Seems self-evident but overlooking this
truth is one of the greatest causes of failed transformation
efforts.
At Minfon, our bi-lingual consultants can assist you for complex
international project management or help you as an interim general
manager while you are transitioning into a new global market.
Global E-commerce
The Internet has led to many changes in the way business is
conducted globally. It has spread further and faster than anyone
imagined and is now a very real part of millions of lives and
thousands of major corporations in the world. Still, many questions
remain unanswered about its impact on business. Is it about
cost savings or competitive advantage? Is it a matter of technology
or of strategy?
An effective eCommerce solution requires both accomplished eCommerce
technologists and domain knowledge. On the global eCommerce
stage, this also requires localization for languages and designs.
Minfon’s Approach
Ours is a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary approach. This encompasses
changing the ways employees interact with one another, how supply
chain members communicate and collaborate, how customers research
and purchase products and services, and how partners and even
competitors can work together symbiotically. The results are
not just cost efficiencies, but also growth, innovation, and
the development of structural competitive advantages.
At Minfon, we help companies leverage e-commerce to enhance
business operations and capitalize on emerging opportunities
between Greater China and the US.
We collaborate with clients to develop powerful e-commerce strategies
and we help them define and meet their most critical e-commerce
challenges_from web site localization, to organization, to strategy
implementation.
