Third Wave Strategy: From static Strategic planning to dynamic Strategic management - and beyond
In a world of rapid, disruptive change the primary purpose of strategy today is to pierce the wall of uncertainty and face adversity, complexity and disruption - head on.
Fundamental to this purpose is its capacity to empower leaders to engage in activities leading to continual reinvention, transformation and regeneration of an organisation. In addition to short term direction setting and the seeking of a competitive advantage we deploy Third Wave Strategy with the objective of:
-
establishing the transformation road map,
-
providing the means to consistently monitor the journey of transformation,
-
flag possible areas of derailment, higher risk and also, opportunity,
-
ensure the strategy system does its job in an efficient and effective way, and
-
delivers the outcomes and results first envisaged by the stakeholders in the business.
Sponsive strategic change
Our methodologies and programs are grounded in the notion of sponsive strategic change where sponse is defined as:
"A knowledge driven change in direction that is provoked or evoked as a result of a change or new opportunity that becomes apparent within a systems internal and/or external environment"
Boundaries for sponse are:
Response: a preparedness to adapt to foreseen and unforeseen change initiated as a result of factors beyond the firm’s control, and
Prosponse: an ability to invent acts of deliberate change created as a result of decisions taken within the firm’s control.
Sponsive strategic change is a key element of Third Wave Strategy, a concept described as follows.
A Sponse matrix is illustrated as follows
