For an organization to act strategically, the people within it and especially those leading it need to think strategically, make decisions based on that thinking and put those decisions into action. A challenge in becoming a strategically driven organization is gaining perspective on the current state and direction of the organization. Without perspective, the organization is functioning and moving based on assumptions that are dated and perhaps even wrong.
What's needed is a fresh look. New perspectives lead to new insight. Getting a different take on a situation can confirm or displace previously held assumptions. Roadblocks and inhibitors to strategic success that were hidden become visible.
You can get a fresh look at the organization by leaving it and then coming back and looking at it fresh and unengaged in the day-to-day. You can "get new eyes" by having consultants and other neutral and experienced third parties look at the organization and offer their different perspectives – collaboration. However you do it, getting a fresh perspective on the state and direction of the organization and what's around it is an important step in strategic decision making.
No single organization, whether a large multi-national corporation or even the United States government, has all of the best talent necessary, under one roof, to address and resolve complex special project issues. All undertakings, pursued by Lobe & Associates, evolve through the on-going development of its own unique multi-disciplined strategies groups. Participants represent many aspects of business, engineering, manufacturing, research, ecology, health care, education and other diverse fields. Our goal is to take a fresh look and collaboratively address, develop and implement more efficient and sustainable solutions utilizing existing resources to replace aging and stagnant methodologies.
