Limehouse Software
London, UK – Limehouse Software today called for organisations to be more open and inclusive about the way they develop strategies, plans, and even product and service offerings, so as to better engage with customers and stakeholders. In order to facilitate this, it has outlining the best practice process for 360-degree strategy development in a new whitepaper entitled “Thinking in the Round – A 360 degree approach to strategy development”
Strategy development is a discipline that is maturing across many sectors, thanks to the global communications revolution changing the rules of engagement between service providers, manufacturers, vendors and their respective customers. Organisations are increasingly expected to become more representative and open toward those they are responsible to, and therefore every organisation – regardless of sector, product, or target audience – should make it their goal to create a watertight process for strategy development. However, the reality is that currently few organisations achieve this due to holes in the process, gaps in communication, poor information sharing and information silos.
Giles Welch, CEO of Limehouse Software said: “As the Web 2.0 world provides customers and end-users with a powerful two-way communication platform, we felt it important to share Limehouse’s extensive knowledge and experience of strategy development through this whitepaper. By working closely with our clients across multiple sectors, we’ve been able improve collaboration and information flow between them and their stakeholders.”
Limehouse Software’s whitepaper also offers a maturity model, enabling organisations to benchmark the maturity of the processes that they have in place for strategy development and how they can move towards best practice. By following the best practice outlined in the whitepaper and developing and refining their strategy development model, companies and organisations can expect to enjoy stronger engagement with their audience, reduce costs and improved the flow of information.
Limehouse’s Software suite facilitates the collaboration, creation and publishing of policy, planning and strategy documents and the delivery of consultations. The suite comprises two integrated elements: ucreate and uengage. ucreate is the only web-based publishing solution with robust document collaboration and multi-channel publishing facilities, which enables customers to easily and cost-efficiently produce complex professional documents and content-rich microsites and portals. uengage, a web-based, industry-first enterprise consultation system, manages the entire consultation lifecycle enabling organisations to consult all relevant stakeholders, citizens, employees or partners through the widest variety of response mechanisms, and analyse and manage the results through complete back-office functionality.
