Navigating Change: Sustainable Growth Strategies for Swiss SMEs and Purpose-Driven Organizations

In today’s rapidly evolving market, purpose-driven businesses must balance profitability and sustainability. I help Changemakers and Swiss SMEs evolve traditional business models into scalable, sustainable growth strategies. Whether aiming for a circular economy or greater social impact, I deliver actionable, resource-efficient solutions that maximize resilience and ensure long-term success, even in fluctuating markets.

STRATEGY FRAMEWORK

01 Define the Vision and Purpose

Like setting the course of a ship, your purpose is the North Star guiding every decision you make. Defining a clear, purpose-driven vision ensures that your organization moves in the right direction, aligning business objectives with a broader social impact and sustainable growth. This balance between purpose, strategy and business goals drives resilient growth in a fast-changing market.

Instruments/Frameworks:

  • Golden Circle+: Identifies "Who," "Why," "How," and "What" to align with societal goals.

  • Core Story Workshop: Co-creates a shared vision that acts as your navigational chart for both internal alignment and external impact.

  • Purpose Framework: Aligns your strategy with regulatory and societal impact expectations.

02 Assess the Current State

Before embarking on your growth journey, it's critical to assess your internal strengths and the external environment. I help Swiss SMEs and Changemakers evaluate their resources, market positioning, and readiness for sustainable growth. By understanding your capabilities and the broader market conditions, we can anticipate challenges and optimize your business for long-term success.

Instruments/Frameworks:

  • SWOT Analysis: Assesses internal strengths and external opportunities.

  • PESTLE Analysis: Evaluates political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental conditions.

  • Resource Audit: Identifies where your "provisions" (resources) can be optimized for a long journey toward circularity or impact.
