How a mid-year strategic review can help you sprint ahead of your competition

Have you reached the mid-point of your 2022 destination yet? We end the first six months of the year this week. Is the progress toward your goals aligned with the timing of the calendar?

Did you just gulp at the realization that half of 2022 has flown by?!

It seems like 2022 is flying by. Maybe it's because the two prior years were so odd and isolated. Perhaps it's because the VUCA'ness will continue going forward.

Whatever the reason, now is time to get a grip on 2022 and give it a boost.

Do a mid-year strategic review to check your progress and plan for the rest of the year.

Understanding the current picture provides many benefits for you. It enables you to…

• Adjust for changes to your stakeholders' needs and expectations.

• Leap ahead of competitors who are waiting for year-end to adjust anything.

• Reallocate resources to current priorities.

• Align culture for what's ahead instead of behind.

• Builds resilience, especially if the first six months weren't your favorite.

You can do more than the commonly used strategy of cross-your-fingers-and-hope. While your competitors remain flummoxed by the complexity of the year, you can assess quickly then propel your company forward. Assess now to understand what's going on so you can empower and arm your team with the view and vision.

The basic review should include a summary of where you are now, where you want to be in six months, and what you will do to get there.
