Strategic Decisions & Change

Sometimes, the only way a company can grow and prosper is to EXECUTE a strategic change in direction. However, it is axiomatic that executives who have never undergone dramatic change have neither the skills nor the mind-set to lead their organization through change – at least not without help from those who have.

The Morris Group offers proprietary processes for facilitating strategic decisions and managing change at the strategic level, as well as at the execution level.

We begin with an in-depth strategic assessment to discover your critical leading indicators of success. Then we help you define the changes that need to be made to achieve success in the new environment. Together, we determine a clear transition path from your current state to
your best future. Arming you with field-tested tools, techniques and processes to help you
make the changes, we guide you through even the most soul wrenching changes so you can effectively lead your company to its new reality.

Managed Growth

Growth can be exciting, but it can also be frightening, even devastating. Just as cancer is the uncontrolled growth of certain cells, growth that comes too quickly can cripple your organization. Consider the horror stories you have heard about companies who got their 'big break' by striking a deal with a global company, only to find that the demands their new partner imposed in areas of packaging, pricing, delivery and returns could conceivably put them out of business. Where controlled growth could have "made" the company, sudden exponential growth transformed prosperity into chaos.

This does not have to happen, and The Morris Group can help. Our tools, techniques and processes help you evaluate your own potential growth and determine the organizational changes necessary to embrace that growth, rather than be overwhelmed by it. We start with an analysis of your capacity for growth, then guide you through processes that help you live up to that capacity, without reaching out for more than you can possibly handle.

New Ideas

Organizations grow through new ideas for products, services and markets. Sorting out the winners from the losers is often a make-it or break-it decision. Our carefully crafted time-phased process helps you select and execute concepts, strategies and ideas that accelerate growth and increase value. This full lifecycle process will help you validate and prioritize your strategies for growth and building value, build the business case for your concept and strategy, establish a detailed operations plan for flawless execution, assign management and/or team accountability for specific functions, obtain financial and people resources needed to achieve plan objectives and drive plan execution against measurable targets. Our lifecycle management process helps you establish a lasting "execution culture and competency" in the organization.
