I have visited numerous meetings where interesting opportunities have been presented to me. Some at the higher levels in companies and some at a middle level of management. I have read hundreds of job ads in news papers during my professional time. Many of these opportunities has presented a top level position opportunity with the ingredients of having traits related to strategic thinking, interpersonal skills, strategic marketing etc. But one of the most common parts of these opportunities are that you as the CEO or just below are supposed to be acting mainly operatively with sales. I believe that hiring an expensive CEO to mainly deal with operative sales is wrong for most companies.

There is a saying that we shouldn’t re-invent the wheel over and over again, which I in general find as a sound advice. Instead we should innovate! This is also especially brought forward by several several platform providers. They use this as a reason for them to tell us all that the only software platform we need is their super platform, since it is capable of connecting everything with everyone, and dig out the best available ideas from everyone, if you just have enough deep pockets to engage the needed consultancy hours to allow everything to connect to everyone. But there is a reason to question this old saying. Why?

A common task: Define us a strategy that is profitable and support the board of directors in making the right decision.

A common result: You create an adopted strategy document that will make the board of directors make the right decision.

Mark the word adopted. You want to make this right, right? You want the board of directors to understand that you are capable of getting the numbers right, so that they don’t have to doubt that what they want, the business needs and what the business can afford is a well founded strategy that has the possibility of being well funded. That can only be done if everyone has the understanding that this is a profitable strategy, which is communicated through your nicely formulated strategy document.

So you’re the new second tier top level manager at work? The custom is to give you one hundred days before slamming down on your achievements at work. You’re desperate to spend these one hundred days wisely. But you’re also stressed by a tight introduction schedule. There are tons of people to meet, shake hand and exchange stories with and evaluate their future contribution to your success. So the time left over for strategic thinking is limited.
