Successful into the new year: How the StrategyFrame® transforms your business
The new year is here, and with it the perfect opportunity to strategically realign your business. In the latest episode of Hope is not a strategy, strategy expert Christian Underwood shows you how to develop a future-oriented strategy in four clear steps using the StrategyFrame®. This structured approach is not only suitable for large companies, but also for the self-employed and smaller teams.
Strategy is more than annual planning
Christian Underwood makes it clear right at the beginning of the episode: strategy is not a rigid plan, but a flexible process that works in the long term. Instead of focusing exclusively on short-term goals, the aim is to create a foundation that will endure even in uncertain times. The StrategyFrame® offers an ideal guideline for this.
With four central phases - planning, analysis, focus and adaptation - this approach helps you to align your company not only for 2025, but also beyond.
Why planning and analysis are key
Many companies rush into defining goals without knowing the exact starting position. This is exactly where the StrategyFrame® comes in. Planning: Set clear milestones for your strategy process. Who is involved? When will the first results be presented? Analysis: Don't rely on your gut feeling - a well-founded analysis of your market position, customer needs and trends is essential! Because without analysis, any planning is just a guessing game
Focus: setting the right priorities
Another key aspect of the StrategyFrame® is its clear focus. This is not just about defining goals, but also about making tough decisions: What is prioritized? Which measures will have the greatest impact? Christian Underwood recommends working towards a shared vision that is supported by all those involved.
Adaptation: The transition to implementation
A strategy is only successful if it is put into practice. This is where the fourth phase comes into play: adaptation. Christian Underwood explains why it is so important to involve the organization in the process at an early stage and to actively involve managers in the implementation.
Your roadmap for 2025
Whether you are an entrepreneur, manager or self-employed - this episode provides you with valuable food for thought and a clear structure for achieving your goals in 2025 and beyond.
