7 further insights when planning for 2020/2021
- Don’t waste a crisis – now is a time to grab hold of emerging opportunities and accelerate change
- Ensure your vision is realistic – despite high uncertainty, clarity on your vision is now critical. Ensure it is realistic as many (especially in professional service firms) continue to be very busy, limiting how much growth is possible for advisory with current resources.
- Don’t reinvent the wheel – reach out for assistance to build capabilities, inject the right pre-built resources and have access to experienced support. Mindshop is here to assist.
- Be extremely client centric – listen closely to the burning needs of customers and watch injecting advisory services that sound great to you but are of low value to target customers.
- Demonstrate capability to cut through marketing clutter – ensure your capability to deliver great client outcomes is captured in videos, practical blogs, client case studies and more.
- Don’t take a cookie cutter approach – tailor your plan and advisory offering to suit your unique goals, target customers, passion and capacity.
- Virtual for leverage – ensure you find a blend of delivery mediums to lock in now to reduce the time to support clients and be more agile. Where can you inject virtual support, virtual coaching, online training and more into your advisory offering?
