’Corporate Strategy, stakeholder analysis & execution’
OUR MODEL: ANALYSE, CREATE & EXECUTE
Duke Strategies uses a three-step advisory model ‘Analyse, Create & Execute’ to understand stakeholder dynamics, develop a corporate and communications strategy, and support impactful implementation.
Our analyses include a deep understanding of our client’s strategic directions and decisions, as well as interests and expectations of stakeholders. We analyse the intent, capabilities and (potential) actions/responses of both our clients and stakeholders, based on strategic plans, interviews with directors, managers, co-workers and external stakeholders and advanced AI analysis tools. Following this, we define the key challenge the strategy should provide a response to.
When we create strategies, we first of all explore an overarching approach in the form of a ‘Single Most Important Action’ that needs to be taken to respond to the identified key challenge. This forms the basis for the strategy and plan, as well as the messaging that needs to be developed to engage with stakeholders.
A strategy that can’t be communicated is a strategy that won’t be executed. That’s why Duke Strategies works at the intersection of strategy and storytelling. Leadership, strategy and communications should be closely aligned and we connect these dots from the Boardroom to all stakeholders. We do help leaders craft the message, selectchoose the channels, and build the narrative and an effective communications strategy. Because the best strategy in the world means nothing if it doesn’t move people.
In the execution phase, we can deploy our wealth of experience in:
- Communications strategy
- Crisis communications
- Issue management
- Media training
- Presentation training
- Change management & communications
- Data & insights analysis
- Social media strategies
Get in touch with Duke Strategies to explore how we help business leaders manage stakeholder expectations, strategic change, and corporate affairs with confidence.
Finally, in the execution phase we help the client where needed to execute on the actions identified in the plan. This may include actions related to the business, to the governance and/or communications with a wide array of stakeholders.
