PIVOT NOW!

Bringing New and Existing Colleagues onto the Same Page in the Same Room

SEEKING DIRECTION

Once upon a time, Pivoting was something a start-up did. Not anymore. Already in 2022, Meta (Facebook) has embarked on a pivot – or perhaps even two. As has Pinterest. Other large corporates are also facing market circumstances that will likely force them to Pivot in the coming year.

How does one Pivot? It requires clearly identifying what your current business model offers all your key stakeholders. Then, establish what options you have in tackling the Pivot process.

A CAREFULLY
CONSIDERED APPrOACH

A carefully considered approach is vital when Pivoting is essential to survival. What changes are crucial? How do we embark on them in a way that does not spook our key constituents? Which direction will help us to resolve our present dilemma?

When a Pivot becomes inevitable, we must follow a process that ensures all stakeholders are on the same page. This means that in considering our options, the process we follow ensures all of them are “in the same room”. In times of crisis, neglecting any stakeholder group can result in serious unintended consequences.

EXCELLENT ECOSYSTEMS

In order to provide the best possible experience to customers or clients an organisation needs to be clear on which of ten Life Areas it intends to focus its offering on.
