That includes owners, board members, employees, customers, and suppliers. With Group50’s Where to Play and How to Win framework, you get a one-page strategic plan.

Most strategic frameworks are difficult to explain, impossible to implement, and quickly forgotten. That’s where Group50® comes in. We take a simplified, results-driven approach that aligns every stakeholder—owners, board members, employees, customers, and suppliers—under a clear roadmap to success.

With Group50’s Where to Play and How to Win Strategy Framework, you’ll get a one-page, easy-to-understand strategic plan that everyone in your organization can rally behind. No jargon, no confusion—just a clear path to success.

Why strategies fail:

Many strategic plans fail before they start. This happens because they lack three key elements.

MIG:

Your company needs one clearly defined metric for success. For example, it could be increasing enterprise value by 250%, quadrupling sales, or doubling cash flow. Therefore, every decision and action should drive this goal. What’s your MIG? In BHNOS, this goal anchors every priority and scorecard.

Where to Play:

Too many companies chase too many markets. Instead, we help you define your best opportunities. We identify the right customers, markets, and distribution channels. However, they must align with your MIG. Are you playing in the right market?

How to Win:

This is your playbook for success. Group50® develops the strategies and tactics that bridge the gap between your current state and future vision. Otherwise, your strategy is just wishful thinking.

Three pillars wrap-up:

Together, these three pillars cut through complexity. As a result, your entire company gets a straightforward strategy it can execute

What Makes Group50’s Approach Different?

Most consulting firms stop at strategy creation. However, we don’t. Instead, we add key success factors that ensure execution.

Leadership Alignment: Does your leadership team have the traits to move from your current state to your future state? If not, we identify gaps and coach your team to lead change.
Rallying Cry: A simple, powerful message unites your organization behind your strategy. In effect, it becomes the battle cry of transformation.
Value Proposition Clarity: We define why customers choose you over the competition. Then we ensure every employee understands how to reinforce that advantage.
Strategic Business Levers: We pinpoint your biggest strengths, from proprietary technology to market dominance. As a result, you can leverage them to maximize competitive advantage.
Financial Horizon: Every strategy needs a clear financial impact. Therefore, we work with leadership to set realistic, measurable financial goals.

Where could your company be leaving money on the table?

The one page view of a company’s strategic plan is simple enough to share with every stakeholder and they can easily see what the objectives of the company are and understand the bigger picture their efforts will help support. In one company we are working with, they are showing this one pager to potential employees and the response has been positive because the candidates see what they are going to become part of, and they believe it demonstrates the company has its act together. Employees want to know the bigger picture and are more engaged when they understand it and have the opportunity to participate in achieving it. Companies with highly engaged employees realize significantly better performance than their competitors as shown in the following graphic from the GALLUP Organization which was compiled for the book: Strategy Realized – The Business Hierarchy of Needs®.
