Marbral for Strategy.
Marbral Advisory offer experienced strategists who can support and harness success within your organisation by defining and writing a winning strategy or transforming an existing strategy into one that delivers true success. You might call it an end-to-end service, where we make strategy a reality.
A strategy is the compass by which an organisation steers its activity, effort and resources. If the business strategy is poorly defined, does not consider the market in which it operates, and is not followed or understood by its teams, it is destined for failure.
Our experienced strategists can support and harness success in your organisation.
Business and organisational strategy
80% of leaders believe they focus more on defining strategy than implementation and success. Our experienced strategists partner with organisations to define winning strategies or transform existing ones into practical roadmaps that deliver results. From tailored health checks and performance measurement, to strategy design and implementation, we provide an end-to-end service that makes strategy a reality. By aligning your values, strengths and vision, we help build strategies that are fully owned and embraced by your people.
Our support is designed to embed strategy across your organisation, ensuring alignment with business priorities, change initiatives and target operating models. Through industry-wide expertise and skills transfer, we equip leaders and teams to measure effectiveness, navigate challenges and track progress. The outcome is a strategy that is not only well defined, but successfully implemented - anchored across the organisation and steering you towards sustainable success.
Digital and technical strategy
When people talk about digital change, it's not just about technology. It's about transformation. Digital change is about an organisation-wide evolution that looks at how we work and what we can do to improve operations and enhance the customer experience. Our approach to digital change is holistic. We focus on four key areas of transformation; process, people, technology and data. We can support you with the development of a digital strategy, the first stepping stone on your digital journey. In addition to a focus on the four key areas of digital transformation, we can assess your digital maturity and devise plans for improvement.
Today is the age of the customer. Those who can embrace digital and continually take advantage of digital developments to transform the services they offer to their customers, will be the true differentiators. Our team are constantly assessing digital developments for potential impacts and opportunities in our client’s sectors. Key focus areas include Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, and Cloud Computing.
Regulatory strategy
Managing how you approach regulatory change, and regulatory scrutiny, can be a challenge when you also have to maintain business as usual. Yet it's critical that it is handled well and in a timely manner. Marbral can support you by guiding you through a regulatory change, training your people to manage change projects more effectively, or assessing your regulatory compliance to highlight areas requiring redress and remediation. Failure to adopt regulatory change could lead to loss of reputation, and/or even financial or criminal punishment, so we also offer expertise in regulatory project management, helping to equip your teams for regulatory examination or scrutiny.
Our team are constantly assessing regulatory developments for potential impacts and opportunities in our client’s sectors. We have provided preparation and training for GDPR, Brexit, LIBOR changes and regulatory examinations to name a few.
Customer strategy
In today’s competitive landscape, your brand is defined by the experiences you deliver. Customers buy from organisations they recognise, trust and feel connected to - those that provide consistent, meaningful interactions at every stage of the journey. To achieve this, businesses must truly understand their customers: walking in their shoes, speaking their language and appreciating the challenges they face. The key lies in balancing customer expectations with the need to generate sustainable profit.
Marbral Advisory helps organisations to define, execute and embed customer strategies that achieve this balance. By leveraging your expertise, systems and channels, we enable you to deliver the products and services your customers genuinely value, while enhancing loyalty, driving growth and safeguarding profitability.
‘I just wanted to say thank you for your help with our business plan. The board found Marbral’s input very clear and agreed on its implementation. Having this in place will make the coming year more focused and therefore of greater benefit to the clients we support. Your guidance was invaluable and will be of benefit to me in the years to come.’
