Limehouse Software Outlines Best Practices for Effective Strategy Development

Limehouse Software today called for organizations to be more open and inclusive about the way they develop strategies, plans, and even product and service offerings, so as to better engage with customers and stakeholders. In order to facilitate this, it has outlined the best practice process for 360-degree strategy development in a new white paper entitled “Thinking in the Round – A 360-degree approach to strategy development.” To request the full report, please email marketing@limehousesoftware.com.

 

Strategy development is a discipline that is maturing across many sectors, thanks to the global communications revolution changing the rules of engagement between service providers, manufacturers, vendors and their respective customers. Organizations are increasingly expected to become more representative and open toward those they are responsible to; therefore every organization – regardless of sector, product, or target audience – should make it their goal to create a watertight process for strategy development. However, the reality is that currently few organizations achieve this due to holes in the process, gaps in communication, poor information sharing and information silos.

 

“As the Web 2.0 world provides customers and end-users with a powerful two-way communication platform, we felt it important to share Limehouse’s extensive knowledge and experience of strategy development through this whitepaper,” said Giles Welch, Limehouse Software’s chief executive officer. “By working closely with our clients across multiple sectors, we’ve been able to improve collaboration and information flow between them and their stakeholders.”

 

Limehouse Software’s whitepaper also offers a maturity model, enabling organizations to benchmark the maturity of the processes that they have in place for strategy development and how they can move towards best practices. By following the best practices outlined in the white paper and developing and refining their strategy development model, companies and organizations can expect to enjoy stronger engagement with their audience, reduce costs and improved the flow of information.
