Strategy is too often complicated and lacking simplicity and clear direction. We jump straight into understand where you are right now, where you want to be and begin mapping out a pathway to get there.

A BHAG is a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. This acronym was coined by business gurus Jim Collins and Jerry Porras.
A fantastic example is Boeing in 1950 when they were a substantial military contractor for the US government but not in the civilian jetliner industry.
“Become the dominant player in commercial aircraft and bring the world into the jet age.”
Your BHAG is your organisation’s long-term goal. It needs to be guided by your organisations purpose and values. Your BHAG is fundamental to growing and scaling your organisation – it creates team cohesion, shared purpose and a foundation for your strategy.
A flywheel is a mechanical device that smooths out energy and creates momentum. It also uses momentum to store energy and ensure that short periods without activity do not result in a loss of traction. Once a flywheel has started turning it gathers momentum and speed over time and is easier to keep spinning than it was to start.
The concept of a business flywheel was developed by Jim Collins in his book Good to Great. He described it as the idea that if you keep pushing, while it will be hard to move at first, little by little you’ll gain momentum and reach a breakthrough point. The concept is that it is not a ‘Big Bang’ approach that drives business success but rather repeated, incremental effort that leads to sustained results and out performance.
