Thinking About Strategy? Think LONG Term! Barry Talks to Francis Wade 30:39

Summary In this conversation, Barry Eustance and Francis Wade of Framework Consulting discuss the significance of long-term strategic thinking in organisations. Francis shares insights from his experience in strategic planning, emphasising the need for game-changing strategies that extend beyond short-term results. He explains how to overcome the prevalent short-term mindset in executive teams and the importance of backcasting to create a unified long-term vision. The discussion also touches on the legacy leaders leave behind and the transformative power of thinking long-term. Takeaways Long-term strategy is about game-changing results, not just thinking ahead. Organisations often focus too much on short-term results due to pressure from investors. Commitment to long-term value creation leads to more ambitious strategies. Backcasting helps teams visualise their long-term goals and plan accordingly. Short-term actions should align with long-term aspirations for effective strategy. Legacy thinking can inspire leaders to make impactful decisions today. Diverse age demographics in teams can enhance strategic discussions. Facilitating difficult conversations is key to developing a unified strategy. Long-term thinking can reveal the irrelevance of current focuses and investments. The process of strategic planning should be rigorous and credible to avoid wish lists.
