‘New Year, [INSERT CLICHE HERE]!’

Defining strategy for 2023 - for your business, yourself and your team.

The start of a new year is always full of expectation - In our personal lives we must suddenly lose weight, join a gym, be more organised, pledge to spend more time with family and friends, the list is endless.

At work we set new targets, review our strategies, overhaul every company policy and generally try to attack everything with a new sense of vigor for a few weeks at least (must be all the extra energy from the diet and the workouts!)

But is there actually business value to be found in these age old habits, and if so how do we capitalise on it?

We think there is - by taking the opportunity to get some fresh ideas from your team when they could be feeling their most enthused and also relaxed (hopefully) after a festive break.

This isn’t the time for ripping up your existing plan and strategy and we aren’t suggesting to use January to fix something that isn’t broken - but we do think this is the perfect time to get your team together in a workshop format to think about the last few months, and the next few.

We’ve found the best New Year workshops follow a format like this - 

• A high level review of the last year - what worked well, what didn’t, and how could you improve on this moving forward?

• With the benefit of hindsight, what opportunities did you miss or not take full advantage of?

• What are the top 3 things that will drive your business forward over the next few months - try brainstorming this under these headings - People, Process, Promotion. 

At Social ReBuild we love to facilitate these types of conversations and we have a tried and tested approach to getting the best out of your team - get in touch here to find out more.
