New ebook: A guide to strategic decision-making in remote leadership teams

Businesses across the world have shifted to a remote working environment and it’s a change that’s here to stay. Many organizations were unprepared for the sudden change, amplified by the pandemic that made remote working a reality for so many.

More than ever, business owners are looking to the future. Senior leadership teams need to be able to effectively communicate business strategy and decision-making even when working remotely to outline and achieve long-term business goals.

By adapting to the remote working environment and creating smarter, more compelling visuals for strategic meetings, business leaders can more effectively communicate strategy even when working remotely.

Strategic decision-making

Aligning your workforce and executives towards a long-term business objective is accomplished through strategic planning. Strategic decision-making is a collaborative process revolving around building a visual roadmap of targets and goals that encompass your company vision.

Collaboration has never been more key than when people are forced to work apart. Traditionally, strategic planning was achieved with static, stale presentations and PowerPoint slides. In the age of remote working however, that’s evolving to become more dynamic and visually stimulating for all involved, reducing downtime between decisions and improving the collaborative effort among c-suite executives.

The planning process behind strategic decision-making has become tired and outdated. Innovation is required to help engage executives and push forward-thinking objectives for all areas of a business.

Embracing the change

Strategic decision-making is possible when working remotely, but it offers up new challenges for those at the executive level. It’s harder for executives to gain an understanding of people’s ideas and whether or not everyone within the business is moving in the same direction. It’s now more vital than ever that c-suite decisions are communicated effectively throughout the workforce to help emphasize collaboration among team members.

Many businesses have had to make big, sweeping changes to adapt to the new way of work. Change isn’t something for organizations to fear, however. Embracing new technology is key to the survival of businesses, and while your business may be used to programs like Excel and PowerPoint, using these antiquated forms of presentation is putting your long-term goals at risk.

It’s all about employing technology that makes sense to your business and the situation it’s in. A modern solution like SharpCloud transforms the way companies work, providing real value to the way leaders conduct strategic planning and presentations.

Justifying and embracing change isn’t always easy for businesses. However, the working world has been transformed dramatically and senior leadership teams must help businesses to adapt and evolve.

That applies to presenting business strategy too. Gone are the days of static presentations and time-wasting meetings where little to no decisions are made. With the right software, business leaders can employ visually compelling and dynamic strategic planning.

We’ve created this comprehensive new guide to leadership teams making strategic decisions in a remote working environment to illustrate the importance of change and how you can use the right software to facilitate that. This guide looks at the current challenges facing leadership teams, the importance of strategic planning and decision-making, and how businesses can adapt to and justify the changes necessary.

What's included in the guide?

  • An overview of the current issues businesses face with strategic planning
  • How businesses can move away from static presentations
  • The role of leadership when remote working
  • How SharpCloud introduces an innovative new method of creating arresting roadmaps
