Winning in a changing world |
Setting you up for success
Campaign Background
It is clear from history that a downturn – and the early stages of recovery that follow – provide opportunities for an organization to dramatically improve its position. Moreover, businesses that take advantage of turbulence generally retain their gains in the subsequent economic upswing.
While recent hints of a rise in business confidence suggest early signs of economic recovery, nobody can confidently predict when the global or individual economies will regain momentum. That said, it is a question of when, not if. So, how can you effectively position your business to get a head start on your competitors?
At Deloitte, we believe it’s about understanding the impact of nine key issues on your business, assessing your capability to deal with them, and planning now for recovery. These nine key issues are grouped according to:
| • external impacts: global economic order, sustainability, and regulation • business portfolio impacts: business model disruption, growth and innovation, and M&A • organization and leadership impacts: capital and funding, data and information, and talent. |
The business landscape has been significantly changed by the global financial crisis and the subsequent recession. How organizations react and manage out of these volatile times will be critical for their positioning and performance. |
The landscape beyond the recession is already taking shape – are you prepared to tap the right opportunities for winning in a changing world?
How has Deloitte geared up internally to prepare its clients and the industry to manage in a changing world?
Deloitte developed the “Winning in a changing world “framework” (WICW Diagnostic tool) as a tool to facilitate discussions with clients about their prevailing business issues. The framework is used across the Deloitte network globally. Through discussions with clients, Deloitte practitioners work with clients to determine whether clients have capability to deal with the most prominent issues in their industry. Each member firm has customized their program to suit the needs of their local clients and industries. Practitioners can have more meaningful conversations with their clients about many different business issues. At the global level, Deloitte has a network of partners who are leading the “Winning in a changing world “programs in their countries. These partners share ideas and best practices and continually work to improve the program.
