A company’s strategy must be based on a vision that sets a course for its transformation. This shared vision, which carries meaning and is a source of mobilization, requires the hot (culture, employees) and cold (business plan, organization) dimensions to be taken on board. Three-year strategic plans have been long overdue as they have not kept pace with our economy’s accelerating cycles. The establishment of a permanent strategic dialogue within the company through short cycles exploiting the springs of collective intelligence represents a real alternative.
The right strategy is one that is well executed. Therefore, action must be at the heart of the strategic approach by involving managers and employees in the design and rapid operational experimentation. The establishment of a permanent and participative dialogue allows an optimal articulation of short and long time (rapid reaction to changes while favouring a perennial orientation of the activity). As Saint-Exupéry said, “as far as the future is concerned, it is not a question of foreseeing it but of making it possible”.
