Strategy definition

Strategy making may seem obvious, but it is surprising how often either new entrants, startups or even established players need advice and guidance in the world of mobility. As history has demonstrated, defining and implementing the right strategic approach is essential to success. A vision and good funding are not enough.

A strategy is a set of actions and decisions a company or organisation takes to attain long-term goals and objectives. Strategy, in a nutshell, bridges the gap between where a company is and where it would like to be.

Strategy has several very specific features:

• It is important precisely because it is impossible to predict the future. Without perfect foresight, businesses must be prepared to deal with the unpredictable events that make up the business environment.
• Strategy deals with the long-term developments of a company rather than its ordinary operations but the two must be tightly connected
• There is no one-size-fits-all in strategy, it has to fit the company’s unique strengths but also to integrate its weaknesses

As the mobility ecosystem is constantly disrupted by new technologies, regulations or business models, having a sharp and updated strategy is an hygiene factor for all stakeholders. And a must have to help internal teams become smarter in their day-to-day decisions.
