Business Strategy

Michiel Elich: Changing market conditions, margins under pressures, the arrival of new managers with new ambitions, or company mergers: These are all reasons to reassess your business strategy and make new choices about where want to compete in the market, how and what with.

The IG&H vision on strategy
In our vision, strategy begins by setting the right business model. The first step is to determine which model and which people will be used to develop and implement the new strategy. A strategy will only work if the right people are on board ; the management team must have a sense of ownership of the company vision and direction.

The questions that then need to be asked are

• How can we run a different race?
• Where is our added value?
• How can we optimise our USPs?
• What’s the best way to decrease costs?

IG&H will help you set the course and guide you with each step on the journey towards its implementation. We will advise you in some of the essential choices you will need to make: which markets and target markets do you want to serve, how will you position yourself, what is your value proposition and business model for ROI? And also: how does all of this affect how you set up your value chain and KPIs? Because making sure there is an efficient and effective connection between the market and your internal organisation is essential.

IG&H consultants ensure your strategy is really implemented
With IG&H consultants at your side, this strategic process is a journey on the road to change, which starts with the very first step.

As an insider in your sector we support management and challenge you to make the decisions needed to progress along the chosen strategic road. We ensure that you have a clear market vision, fact-based analysis and financial justification. But, above all, we facilitate a process which stimulates energy and enterprise, resulting in clear ownership of the strategy throughout your organisation.

We are convinced that a strategy has to flow from the competences and DNA in an organisation. This is because a strategy has to be realistic and achievable. So we translate your strategy into the transformation your company needs by drawing up an implementation plan. After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating: strategy is what you actually achieve, not what you put down on paper!
