Carry out participative strategic or transformation plans and reflections

When it applies

When it is necessary to undertake far-reaching reflections, such as those necessary to define the development of strategic or transformation plans. Also, for strategic refocusing of the whole or a part of the activity: Area, business, product, service, channel, market... Recurringly or in a one-off event, and there is a desire to mobilize the organization both in the generation of "insights" and in their subsequent implementation.

Problem it solves

Strategic reflections continue to be done in a very centralized way, by the departments of strategy, innovation and/or transformation.

External help from consultants provides an additional point of view, but does not change the fact that they are “top-down”
They reflect a limited understanding of reality and opportunities, far removed from the capabilities and aims of those in the organization

As there are no “easy recipes” or a “one-size-fits-all” solution, these reflections end up as theoretical documents.

Added value by delibera

It allows you to carry out a strategic reflection or transformation plan including a very relevant number of people (500-1.000-5.000-20.000), in an organized and profound way and within a reduced period of time (2 to 4 months), by initiating 20-30 intelligent and sequenced conversations.

Optimizing the deliberation process, eliminating time, language and geographic constraints for participation
Identifying changemakers, measuring and recognizing collaboration
Optimizes the efficiency and scope of the process of collecting information and ideas.
Structures and segments the debate around actionable choices

Maximizes the chances of success in transformation, in a process that is innovative and exemplary in itself
