Why should Entrepreneurs be interested in Strategy Dynamics?

In attempting to build a new venture from nothing, entrepreneurs face a difficult challenge in persuading investors to fund their proposal - there are so few facts to go on. Often, then, the investors' support comes down to belief in the managerial abilities of the fledgling team. Strategy Dynamics, though, offers both you and your backers an extra degree of confidence ...

  • Your future performance will depend on your ability to collect, develop and retain critical resources - products, people, customers ...
  • This may be feasible if the environment in which you hope to operate offers potential resources for you to exploit ...
  • ... provided established firms and rival start-ups don't steal them from you first.
  • Your emerging business system will start to generate cash at a rate that reflects the soundness both of your assessment of these factors and your team's ability to win and sustain them.
These considerations are amenable to fact based analysis, rather than relying on expressions of opinion or blind hope. The resulting 'strategic architecture' for your new venture has some powerful features:
  • it is holistic, encompassing all important components of the emerging business ...
  • the framework captures interdependencies, so you can avoid a mismatch between, for example, sales and service capacity
  • the architecture connects explicitly, the substance of your venture with its costs and revenues, giving you confidence in your cash-flow profile
  • it is easily and clearly communicated and shared, both with your backers and your colleagues
  • has clear implementation tasks - who is to do what, when, how much, coordinated how with others, and producing what anticipated outcomes into the future
  • is adaptable, to cope with the unavoidable uncertainties about how your venture is evolving, and how outside events may disrupt our plans

The principles and frameworks behind the Strategy Dynamics approach are built on sound theoretical foundations that have implications throughout the management field, as well as in many others. At the same time, the approach is practical and clear, understandable by everyone with a professional interest in business. It is, however, an approach that is 'deceptively simple'. The content of this website and the publications we offer will provide some insight into the approach, our sister company Strategy Dynamics Solutions also offers services for strategy professionals and managers who wish to enhance their understanding of the practice of it.
