Listening: A Strategy and Change Blog | Hosfeld & Associates

Hosfeld & Associates Inc. and Ron Benton & Associates, Inc. have announced an alliance to deliver strategic services to accelerate the return on investment from commitments to sustainability, stakeholder partnerships and trust-based business practices.

Who Is This For?

These services are for companies that have already experimented with and seen benefit from waste and energy management practices, and that are looking for new opportunities for innovation, competitive differentiation, and strengthened customer relationships. Our stakeholder engagement services help companies tap the creative potential of relationships with customers, employees and other partners. Our rapid strategy services help clients get traction on new initiatives and design them for maximum return in value and learning.

Companies that would benefit from these services are those that seek to:

• Convene a team to develop and implement a strategic action plan quickly
• Tap the creative potential of employees, customer and other partners for breakthrough ideas and strategic insights
• Learn more quickly from experiments by measuring what matters
• Increase accountability and follow-through for strategy implementation
• Build capacity for dialogue, collaboration and partnering as they do real work (not in a classroom)

What Strategy Services are Provided?

Rapid Sustainability Strategy – We enable companies and lines of business to accelerate the development of new sustainability oriented products, services and business models. We accelerate and invigorate the planning process so that participants are emotionally and intellectually connected to your strategy and its successful implementation. As a result, you can realize returns and value from your work more quickly.

Stakeholder Experience Strategy — We enable companies to tap the significant business benefit of stakeholder loyalty and trust. We combine principles of stakeholder marketing and Total Customer Experience management to identify all the ways the company engages with stakeholders and the corresponding opportunities to create transformative partnerships with them. We engage the intellectual and emotional commitment of team members, leading to effective follow-through and acceleration of results.

Stakeholder Marketing Strategy — We work with our clients to design stakeholder marketing systems, strategies and action plans that accelerate the realization of value from stakeholder engagement. We help companies use stakeholder marketing approaches to tap tremendous potential for innovation, trust and loyalty. In the face of increasing complexity and potentially competing stakeholder needs, we help clients clarify their objectives, build their capacity to manage stakeholder dialogue, and implement strategic change quickly.
