Why strategy is important

Article by Christina Winkless
To take advantage of the evolving pace of technology, user trends and opportunities, businesses not only need to keep up; they must predict and shape the future.
Here at Kind, we help our clients do this by thinking strategically about each and every problem, whilst harnessing technology to generate innovative ideas, explore user behaviour and create new opportunities. This way of working means we make more relevant products and user experiences that get to market quickly to kick-start growth.
Vision first. Planning second.
To be successful for the long term, every business needs a healthy balance between thinking, planning and doing. A good digital strategy distills the available knowledge about your organisation, your audience, your competitors, and the wider world. Once we have these insights, we can then articulate a vision for how your brand should think, act and communicate in a digital context.
From this vision, we can develop a clear direction that allows you to make the best use of opportunities created by technology, enabling your organisation to thrive in a competitive world.
Once you have this strategy in place, it’s important to continuously revisit and refine it. In a world that is constantly evolving, the key to a great digital strategy is the ability to adapt to change. Having the foresight to see what’s around the corner so we can react quickly enough to exploit these opportunities and stay ahead of the curve is essential.
