4 key steps to ensuring you
remain competitive
1
    Know where
    you’re going
    and how you’re
    getting there

                  Know where
                  you’re going
                  and how you’re
                  getting there

If your business doesn’t have time to review its strategy,
who knows where it will end up?

It doesn’t matter if your business strategy is just a few words
or a few pages, what’s important is that you have one and
that everything your business does is measured against it.




                                                                  www.sanderson.com

    your place
    in the world

2   Understand
    your place
    in the world
                   The core of a great business strategy
                   is knowing what you are right now -
                   and what you want to become.

                   Misunderstanding your place in the
                   commercial ecosystem can result in
                   poor decision making based on wrong
                   assumptions.

                   Take stock of where you stand
                   compared to your competitors. Know
                   your strengths and weaknesses. Have
                   a clear grasp of your USP, of what
                   makes you different.

    your message
    loud and clear

                   your message
                   loud and clear


Your target market needs to know exactly what it is
you offer them, and why they should buy from you.

It’s great that you’ve got a strong business strategy
and that you know where you’re going. But the
marketplace needs to know too, because they need
to see how that fits with their decisions.

    Choose the right
    infrastructure
    for today and

                  tomorrow

Select the people and processes needed to execute your
strategy.

This includes selecting the appropriate multi-channel software
and systems to support strategic decision-making and efficient
day-to-day operations.

Don’t allow your business strategy to be undermined by an IT
platform that lacks the capacity to support your ambitions.
