Greece Strategy Canvas

11 juin 2012

Support at a challenging time.

We have been successful in winning a bid to provide strategy consulting advice to a Greek organisation. The funding is shared between the EU and the Greek Government and is aimed at providing support to companies in Greece to help them through the current economic crisis – the so called "structural adjustment for small businesses". The funding will allow us to provide technical assistance in the form of strategy development. We will be using our take on the blue ocean strategy and creating a strategy canvas that will help the organisation develop new markets, products and services and to structure their business to use more of their advantages. The funding also allows for a local company to provide training to employees to re-skill or up-skill. This innovative stimulus package therefore provides much needed help in preparing for and coping with what is undoubtable extremely challenging times in Greece. There were over a thousand tenders submitted and only 187 successful.

Sunday (June 17th) is the Greek elections which have huge global importance. It could preciptate the break up of the Eurozone and cause massive dispruption to everyone. But the situation in Greece is dire. This article in the UK Daily Telegraph summarises the situation.
