    Does your company need a new direction? If you're looking for a 60-page PDF that no one will ever use, you can pick any other agency. If you need a strategy and an approach that will push you in the right direction, Zooma is the right choice.

    A strategy is a set of steering principles that provide the foundation for all your decisions, actions and plans.

    What is a strategy?

    Google will tell you that a strategy is a plan of action. For Zooma, a strategy is a set of steering principles that provide the foundation for all your decisions, actions, and plans.

    Below, you find the strategies that we can help you with.

    Zooma's approach to change

    • We work with the head and the heart of change, leveraging insights and data in service of action to enable new behaviours and embed desired ways of working.

    The strategies you need

    It could be a business, digital, or brand strategy. The mutual approach and principles are the same.

    Your business strategy is your foundation for achieving your desired business goals. The strategy establishes principles that inform your business’ priorities, decisions, and actions. However, it’s not the tactics you’ll leverage to execute your business strategy. 

    The foundation shall be a two-pager that serves as a guide and foundation for planning, executing, and measuring all your activities. The breakdown specifies the desired main objectives and KPIs.

    • Scope upon agreement.
    • Preparatory documentation.
    • One-day workshop.
    • Feedback and review.

    You will finalise the strategy and the breakdown with one review round from Zooma.

    Your digital strategy is your foundation for maximising the business benefits of data assets and technology-focused initiatives. To be successful, your digital strategy requires a cross-functional team with executive leadership, marketing, sales, service, HR, and IT members.

    Your digital strategy should be a two-pager to be used as the guide and foundation for you to lean on when planning, executing, and measuring all your digital activities. 

    Approach
    • Scope upon agreement.
    • Preparatory documentation.
    • One-day workshop.
    • Feedback and review.

    Workshop

    In a workshop, we determine how to achieve the desired future state and set clear plans, objectives, and KPIs.

    Zooma prepares, moderates, and documents the workshop.

    Finalisation
    After the workshop, you and your colleagues review and refine the draft and go through it with Zooma in one review round.
     
    Before finalisation, you make the implementation plan where you decide and define:
    • The competencies needed to beat your competition and sustain your success.
    • What management systems are required to hone these competencies.
    • How to measure and analyse your results.

    Your brand strategy must be the guide and foundation for you to lean on when planning, executing and creating your communication, sales, service and marketing.

    Your brand strategy must also affect other decisions in your brand. Whether in purchasing, performance reviews, distribution, or design of a new product, your brand strategy makes your brand run more efficiently and increases the likelihood of success.

    It defines your strengths, core values, the desired position and the vital message.

    • Scope upon agreement.
    • Preparatory documentation.
    • One-day workshop.
    • Feedback and review.

Every part needs to be set up, from your employee value proposition to your operating model, to enable and drive momentum.
