What’s your digital strategy?

13/10/2020

Firstly, what is a digital strategy for your career or business?

​No, it’s not how to grow your Instagram following or upgrade your website.

Actually, technology is only one aspect of the strategy. Rather, think of it as a comprehensive future roadmap to grow and keep your business competitive.
Picture
Simon Sinek describes business as an infinite game, something you can only win for a time, and will lose only when you run out of the will (or resources) to keep going. That is a great way sum up why businesses fail to keep up with times, overextend themselves and fail. You can’t sit back and think your industry isn’t going to be affected. If you do you can join the pile of other failed ventures on the business graveyard of history. Tough words I know but that is life unfortunately.
 
The truth is the world is changing and businesses, even in little ol’ New Zealand, need a comprehensive digital strategy to keep ahead of the curve. The digital revolution isn’t just coming, it is already here. The good news is there is something you can do about it. Use the content on this website as a guide to building and growing this strategy for yourself.

Developing a digital strategy isn’t usually done overnight (usually, but we have done it!) but here is a powerful simple technique I use with clients all the time to get them to deep dive and gain additional insight and help orientate themselves. Try it and let me know your thoughts.
 
Transform Your Business – Deep Dive Analysis Tool
  • Analyse your business (find our Full Business Audit Checklist here)
  • Rank the aspects you feel will impact your business most.
  • Get a mentor or someone you trust and explain to them to top 3 aspects.
    1. Are you strong in this aspect?
    2. Why does this aspect scare you?
    3. What makes this one of your top 3 aspects?
    4. What’s your bluesky idea to change this? If you could do anything what would it be?
  • Write down any feedback.
  • Drop everything for an hour
  • What is the first aspect which jumps back into your head?
  • Develop a 9 week plan to address just that one aspect in your business.
 
What is a 9 Week Plan? More content to come on this where I will outline this groundbreaking approach to achieve lasting improvements in your business processes, systems and people.

[5 Meta-tools for Career Growth]
I meant to send this out to you yesterday but to be honest I got too deep into writing my new book and didn’t want to tear myself away. When it's done I’ll send all of our team out a copy. But that’s for a later date. 


For today I want to share with you a few key things you can do to harness the meta-tool of [Identifying Opportunities]. As with everything I aim to do with you, we are all about generating value. Distilled down to its essence GENERATING VALUE is the only thing which is rewarded in the world. Don’t believe me? Just think about it. Big hitters and force multipliers. Movers of capital are the ones that get rewarded, every time. The manager, the investor, the entrepreneur. They are the ones which get rewarded, not because they are working hard or even smarter, but because their actions and decisions propagate through their bound network and yield far more value than any individual’s labour can ever generate.
​

So how do you go about building that network? Well as per my last email its the combination of of these 5 meta-tools which allows people to transform their careers and grow their income
--------------------------------------------------------------
  1. [Identify Opportunities]
  2. Develop your Skillset
  3. Build a Communication Framework
  4. Capture the Momentum
  5. Capitalise on the Value
--------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s focus on [Identifying Opportunities]. What are three things you can do today to begin transforming your career? I’m giving you all this information to you FREE. Well almost free, because what I want you to do is when you have tried this out at work or in your business I want you to hit reply and let me know how it's gone and what successes you have had. Deal? Great!

Okay three things you can start doing today to begin identifying opportunities and generating VALUE

  1. Reinvent Your Image - put on the hat and make yourself the expert. This mindset shift will realign you and allow you to start approaching issues as opportunities. People will see you are gathering expertise and see you as the person to get input from.
  2. Focus on the quiet spaces - most value generation comes from focusing on the aspects which get little attention in your business, once you uncover them, gather input from stakeholders and highlight them to your boss (or those with resources to help you tackle them.
  3. Ignore the obvious solution - If the obvious worked you wouldn't still have a problem. So try approaching the issue from a different angle. Maybe things which are clear to you are not clear to others. Value isn’t generated by grinding out a problem, that’s just the status quo.
So there you go, kick start your work week by trying to implement these three tools and let me know how you get on. We start using very similar tools in our programmes. Obviously it works a lot better in 1-on-1 mentorship sessions so if you are keen to work together on transforming your career let me know and we can start working together 1-on-1 one. That’s where you will get the most benefit, and generate the most value in your own career.

The 5 Meta-Tools of Career Growth | 00

Welcome to a series of blog from “Transform Your Career” designed to help you, wait for it...transform your career! You got it!

The digital age is well and truly upon us but what you may not know is that it is only just gaining steam. Digitisation in New Zealand is only just reaching critical mass and soon the flow on effects of this meta-trend will begin to fundamentally reshape the New Zealand Economy. Small and isolated on the edge of the world we have been slow to change. You might not think it but the future is only just beginning.

Are you worried about your career and the future of your income? Well you don’t have to be. I’ll worry about it for you.

At TYT we are about making sure our clients and partners are preparing and investing in themselves to adapt themselves to survive the onslaught. I use words like that but really we are not coming from a place of fear but a position of opportunity.

So get to the point, Darren! What is this email about?

The future is going to happen whether we like it or not. So instead of being on the back foot, let’s rise to face the challenges head on. That is why I started this business. To take the things I spend my whole career learning and help give those tools to others so they can future proof their careers and grow their incomes.
-----------------------------------
My system is boiled down to 5 meta-tools

  1. Identify Opportunities
  2. Develop your Skillset
  3. Build a Communication Framework
  4. Capture the Momentum
  5. Capitalise on the Value
------------------------------------
That is it, you’ve got it! Now go out and do those things!

Wait, maybe I should elaborate a little on these? That is what I do in our 1-on-1 development sessions. But as a member of the TYT family I’ll be giving you some of these tools for free. I know! Amazing! You can thank me later ;)

Stay tuned as tomorrow I’ll be sending out the 1st of these tools when I take you through the Identify Opportunities stage. It’s important to note these phases are not stand-alone. They form part of a cohesive system designed to transform your career from what it is now to what it needs to be for you to be competitive.
