28 January 2008evolving means growing and changing – and aimimg to do it!
Getting a new business off the ground is a major achievement. It takes a lot of hard work and capital and it often becomes your sole raison d'ętre. You start with one overall business idea and base the marketing of the company, the products and the services on that.
Seeing the wood for the trees
Over time, new opportunities, changes in the market or new technical solutions and standards may call for an overhaul of the business strategy. Today, technical landmarks are developed and left behind in a matter of months, sometimes even weeks. You need to understand where the trend is moving to ensure that your company keeps ahead of the competition.
Are we going green? Is electronic collaboration the new paradigm for improved workforce efficiency? Will 3G mobile take over from the lap top? How can we use Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, ecademy and other internet communities to our advantage? Do we need a company in second life? Is nanotechnology interesting for us? Should we set up a subsidiary company for special services or product offerings? Should we begin to export – and which market do we address first?
No matter what - the aim with a business development exercise is always to retain and build stronger distinct branding and positioning – for the benefit of your company and - your bottom line.
It shouldn’t take months or cost a small fortune.
