Mobilizing Your Organization

 

In opportunity-driven approach to business development, strategy process is both top-down and bottom-up. Opportunity-driven change "is in large measure a result of the pursuit of opportunities by people at all levels that creates the building blocks for the strategy finally synthesized by top management. Thus mobilizing the organization is vitally important."1 Mobilizing your organization means

  1. encouraging people to want to pursue opportunities

  2. allowing them the capability to do so, and

  3. providing the means and conditions necessary to make the process possible.1

This process often demands fundamental changes in the way your company operates.
