We understand that implementation of strategy can easily stall if it is not single-minded and the ownership of key actions, deliverables and timing are not clear. So the expectation is that when we help clients develop and articulate their corporate strategy, they will be clear on the milestone for outstanding delivery.
OVERVIEW
When organisations and businesses clearly define and articulate their vision and strategies, the potential obstacles to the achievement of the strategies are the “way they are set up to work” and “how they actually work”.
In many instances, the processes and systems in an organisation address internal convenience and resolve short-term control issues. The effect is complexity and cost from ineffectively structured and/or conflicting systems and processes that do not add value to the business or its customers.
It is important to review the systems and processes to build an organisation that is well aligned to the delivery of strategy, and agile and adaptable to the current and future needs of the organisation to drive efficiency, growth, and productivity.
In some organisations, this will require a complete ‘Greenfield’ exercise to design a new structure, systems, and processes aligned to the delivery of strategy.

Background
Ghana’s economy is unable to create enough jobs to absorb all of its human resource and the Universities learning continue graduating the young population into unemployment. These young graduates in an attempt to create value for themselves and their communities start their own businesses most of which die prematurely whilst others remain stagnated and struggle to achieve the purposes for which they are set up.
While there are several reasons for the failure of these enterprises, a few notable ones are common to most of these start-ups.
Firstly, many start-ups spring into existence often with inadequate research, understanding or knowledge on the nature of business and industry they are delving into because someone saw another person do it successfully.
In addition these enterprises sometimes fail because of the lack of innovation and practical understanding in leveraging of value chain alliances in the delivery of services.
Lastly, most young people do not excel in business also because of poor working capital management and limited practical knowledge of financial management, including how to generate or source funds, the ideal financial management strategy, and how to differentiate between business capital and profits.
The Speaker for the upcoming Young Executives Business Breakfast Meeting (YEBBM) will help young executives and entrepreneurs understand the intricacies of Start-up failures and also equip them to become more efficient in starting up and running a successful business.

Ishmael Yamson and Associates has a unique and systematic approach to the development a Corporate Strategy. This approach gives opportunity for leaders in the businesses or organizations to collectively contribute to the definition of a common “future” in an open and transparent environment. It helps our clients to develop, articulate, and validate a strategic framework that covers their Vision and Mission, their medium to long term Strategic Imperatives and the expected Strategic Outcomes. The Corporate Strategy provides the context in whicha business or organization’s priorities, allocation of resource and trade-offs can be agreed, and we apply our combined deep and longstanding experiences to develop the appropriate strategic responses for our clients.
At Ishmael Yamson & Associates we believe that a strategy is as good as its execution and so the scope of any strategy development should include how it is “translated-into-action”. We understand the implementation can easily stall if it is not single-minded and the ownership of key actions, the deliverables, and timings are not clear.
The expectation is that when we help clients develop and articulate their corporate strategythey will be clear on the milestone for outstanding delivery.
When businesses and organisations develop their strategy, a critical ingredient for achieving the desired strategic goals and outcomes is to align the organization to the strategy so that there is focus. It is possible to develop a great strategy and end up with “business-as-usual” because the core processes, the systems, and the organizational structure that should underpin the delivery of the strategy are not in alignment. Ishmael Yamson & Associates help businesses and organisations align their structures, people, values, and behaviours to their vision, strategies, and plans. We partner with them to design the right management systems and processes which support the delivery of their strategic and organisational goals.
Sometimes the strategy and the organization may be broadly aligned but the operational processes and systems may not be running as efficiently as could be. The business or organization may be experiencing slow, complex, bureaucratic, and expensive setups which disrupts productivity and undermine initiative. In this case we work with our clients to review their operations in order to streamline them for optimized efficiency and productivity gains.
Brands in our view are living entities whose ultimate purposes are to serve the intents of consumers which organizations have developed as strategic focus to address with products and services.
Crucial to the delivery of consumer value is how organizations profile, understand, and leverage the partnerships and trade infrastructure needed to bring value within reach of their consumers.
We help business teams to discover and formulate powerful consumer, shopper, and trade insights to guide brand vision and develop brand strategies that yield outstanding results.
