Proven strategies for business success based on “the Cowboy Way,” which is all about respect, toughness, common sense, and doing things right the first time.
Approach to practically any project includes these basic steps:
- Goals and objectives—a thorough analysis of the project requirements, resources, and timelines to develop achievable and measurable objectives.
- Situational assessment—review and analysis of the competitive landscape, targeted audience, and potential roadblocks.
- Strategy—how the team will achieve the objectives, including key imperatives for success. This ensures that everyone stays focused and doesn’t stray from the strategic vision.
- Tactics—assigning team/ownership responsibilities and processes to carry out the tactical plan.
- Resources—defining the necessary financial commitment, internal and external support requirements, personnel, and technical support. The goal should be to accomplish the mission as efficiently as possible with the least number of moving parts.
- Communication—encouraging clear communication and helping team members understand how their tasks fit into the overall project.
- Metrics—identifying measurements for success along with timelines for key stages of review.
