Analyses and strategies

Analyses and Strategies are crucial tools that can significantly help entrepreneurs in improving their organization. Through thorough research, strengths and weaknesses of the business will be identified, and clear guidelines for future growth and success will be established.

One of the key elements of strategies is the improvement of an organization's business processes. Discovering more efficient methods of work and eliminating unnecessary costs can significantly increase productivity and employee and client satisfaction. Investing in employee development is of particular importance because their skills and abilities reflect the quality of products and services.

Continuous monitoring and measuring of achievements against set goals are essential parts of the improvement process. Analyzing the results achieved allows for timely reactions and adjustments to strategies to ensure the attainment of planned objectives.

Organization analysis, which includes assessing internal and external factors, is the first step in defining the direction in which an organization wants to go. Internal analysis focuses on evaluating employees, processes, technology, and finances, identifying key resources and competencies that can be used to gain a competitive advantage. On the other hand, external analysis provides insights into the market, competition, and trends that affect the business.

The purpose of analysis is to detect an organization's shortages and identify opportunities for growth and development. This provides data that can be used for better management. The analysis allows us to determine the current state, based on which we develop a recovery or development strategy for an organization.

Definition of Analysis Goals - Helps to understand the scope and focus of the analysis.

Methodology Determination - Choosing techniques and tools for data collection.

Data Collection - Gathering quantitative and qualitative information about the organization or external factors.

Data Analysis - Systematizing and interpreting the collected data in a way that is understandable to the user.

Recommendations - Based on quantitative and qualitative information, recommendations are made for strengthening and developing the organization, addressing challenges, capitalizing on opportunities, and minimizing threats.

Within the scope of CEO Consulting, we can perform an analysis of external and internal factors of the organization. External factors include the sales market, procurement market, labor market, competition, and the institutional environment. In the sales market, we investigate the position, ranking, and diversification possibilities. In the procurement market, we explore opportunities for procuring higher-quality raw materials, tools, and equipment at lower costs. Through benchmarking, we will show your organization's position in relation to the competition and opportunities for advancement. Through an analysis of the institutional environment, we define the available opportunities to save resources by using regulations to your advantage.

Additionally, we will research how anticipated changes in the legislative framework affect your business and how you can adapt to them with the lowest costs.

Internal factors of the organization encompass human resources, organizational structure and culture, finances, and cost and revenue center management, business processes and communication, technology, and leadership.

Analysis of internal factors should be carried out regularly and systematically in every organization. This allows us to identify challenges and potential issues at an early stage and prevent them from turning into problems.

It is possible to analyze individual factors separately if we want to obtain targeted information about a specific issue of interest.

After analyzing the organization, the next step is to develop an organizational development strategy. This plan should be ambitious but realistic and achievable - this reduces the likelihood of demotivation due to failure. Long-term goals of the organization are defined, together with short-term action plans that will contribute to achieving these goals. Each goal is assigned responsibilities, deadlines, and measurable performance indicators  so that progress can be tracked. 

In accordance with the information obtained from the analysis, we identify the organization's weaknesses and external factors that can threaten the business. On the other hand, we identify the strengths of our organization and opportunities for growth and development.

Based on the obtained information and guided by the vision of where the organization wants to be in x years, a plan for managing the organization is created to minimize risks and maximize advantages, creating conditions for successful business operations.

The development strategy can be created for the entire organization, such as a master development plan, or for a specific part of the organization, such as a human resources management strategy. If a company is dealing with specific issues regarding a certain aspect of its operations, the strategy is developed specifically for that topic. However, as all factors of business are interconnected, each strategy should be viewed from the perspective of its impact on the entire organization. This minimizes the negative effects that may result from organizational changes.
