“…people get obsessed about tactical detail before they embrace a strategy…and as a result, when a tactic fails, they begin to question the strategy that they never really embraced in the first place.”

~Seth Godin, from When tactics drown out strategy

I don’t just come up with the ideas for the direction, I develop a plan within the strategy.

The tactical strategy includes recommendations for the logistics of implementing your future.

I can work with you to implement the actual tactics, to put you in contact with the experts, or to work with your own team, identifying KPIs and applicable metrics, developing QA and testing plans, and providing results reporting and analysis.

Implementation
