Strategy model

Strategy-creationOver the last 50 years many strategy models have been designed for all sorts of markets and segments. I have studied several books full of models, and honestly I still do. Each model gives you a the benefit of understanding what is happening in your playing field. Some models cover a single strategy element and some cover a full process.

One of my favourite models is the model I have constructed, tested and used over the last 10 years. And it still hold stand! Lets be honest, most of the models are look-a-likes, constructed around the same core elements, concept, idea and/or theory only presented in a different model. The same counts for the model I have made!

Corporate branding

Corporate-brandingIn my MBA Thesis I have addressed corporate branding as a holistic strategic tool that could contribute significantly to international business development. The reason for research was addressed to the strategy transition of international organizations, from a local responsiveness strategy to a transnational strategy, which requires a healthy balance between the extent of integration and local responsiveness.

For me,corporate branding means; strategic corporate orientation, harmonization and communication between the firm and its external environment, to create, build and maintain the right set of brand associations. Learn how to handle with complex processes start here.

Satisfaction survey

Customer-survey

It is important to be aware of that many customers will not complain after they have been subject to negative experiences and this will also differ from one industry sector to another. In other words, we often are not aware of the extent of satisfaction / dissatisfaction as long as we do not ask. Customer satisfaction research should be done with greatest care. Measuring customer satisfaction must be a continuously, consistent, timely, accurate and reliable process. This is where a customer satisfaction research (survey and analyse) approach becomes a powerful strategic business development tool.

Once you understand what is driving customer satisfaction your are able to built sustainable customer relationships.
