The Start-Up: Building a Luxury Brand. Part 5
https://www.strategytraining.com/programs/collection-j-9yf4x_dd8
In the Strategy Control Room - Advanced we have uploaded an example of a proposal which led to a series of consulting engagements. See how a successful proposal is written.
We are so excited to see you in our brand-new community! Please read and follow these rules to have the best experience in this group.
1. Be kind, welcoming, and respectful to everyone.
We're here to create a friendly and professional environment. Make sure that no one would feel left out. Nobody is a stranger.
2. Keep everything positive.
This community should stay a safe place for everybody. We will not tolerate any kind of negativity, hate speech, bullying, and/or degrading/condescending comments. You are as valuable and important as everyone in this community.
3. Help others in the same way you want them to help you.
This is a place for community members to lift each other up. Ask the community questions. Answer questions posted. Give advice. Provide feedback. Don't hesitate to ask community members if you are unsure of something. This is not a Q&A community to ask questions for the FC team. This is an opportunity for Insiders to help each other and build bonds that last for years. Many Insiders have been friends for years, some have dated, and a few have married. This is because this is a community of ambitious and successful people.
4. Share your #wins and #lessons.
Success is not only about the grand victory at the end of the journey, but it is about every little step forward that you took toward your goal. Let others know about your #wins and #lessons to inspire them.
Feel free to share your stories by hitting “Write Post” button in the top right corner.
Most people follow a strategy of creating passive income, which they assume will create passive wealth. But that is not the same. If you focus on passive income without focusing on passive wealth creation, you will likely end up less wealthy vs. the level of wealth you could have achieved. Based on requests, Michael has updated his MasterPlan (in yellow shading) to explain the strategy he uses to build both wealth and income passively. This is an approach we have not taught in the MasterPlan online program.
MICHAEL'S MASTERPLAN
If you are The Strategy Control Room, Advanced Level, member, here is the direct link to this particular update.
If you are not familiar with the MasterPlan, it is our most popular program of all time. Related training is available on StrategyTraining.com. You can work through the training to help you put together your MasterPlan and, in parallel, review Michael's current and continuously updated MasterPlan. Working through both in parallel can help you make your MasterPlan even more of a powerful tool in your life. So here are related training programs on StrategyTraining.com:
The MasterPlan (access for Insiders and Legacy members)
Implementing the MasterPlan (access for Insiders and Legacy members)
The Mid-Life Strategy Update (access for Legacy members only. Insiders can upgrade to Legacy and back to Insider without losing Insider status)

Business cases are not a document. That is the wrong approach and the most common approach. A business case is the justification for acting on a recommendation and it ends with convincing management to act. Unless the recommendation is acted on, it is not a proper business case. That is what we teach.
The steps need to generate the business case and get people to act. You have seen us use this approach in every program and book. Now, it is fully documented for you. Given the importance of Business case and Benefits tracking for our clients, we released a massive update of curated non-public guides within the Strategy Control Room (within Advanced Level membership) and Center of Excellence:
Our Best Thinking on Business cases and
Benefits tracking - 711 SLIDES
+
The full methodology - 625 SLIDES
+
A sample business case - 38 SLIDES
=
1,374 SLIDES
HOW TO FIND THE BUSINESS CASE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (1,374 SLIDES):
1. Log in to The Strategy Control Room, Advanced Level membership area.
2. See the "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE" dropdown.

Strategic Literacy: The Unique Approach to Reading to Get Uncommon Results
https://www.strategytraining.com/programs/collection-ee7vmwu-f-g?category_id=116316
Every client we ever had gets to a point where they have to convince others - peers, subordinates, and their managers - to do things for them. They have to convince people 1:1 and as a group. And the thing we have seen with most of our clients is that even though they accelerate and do pretty well when they're young and they deploy technical skills, at a certain point unless they learn change management, influence, and persuasion skills, they can't operate as leaders.
Why it matters?
You must be able to convince others to act.
Creating flexible, responsive organizations.
Finding and developing creative, innovative people.
Building and leveraging intellectual capital.
Encouraging and managing continuous change.
Given how big of a topic Change Management is for our clients, we created a Center of Excellence within the Strategy Control Room (within Advanced Level membership) and released 2 significant Batches of materials within the Change Management Center of Excellence:
Our Best Thinking on Change Management - 1,078 SLIDES (Batch 1)
+
Full Change Management Study - 1,267 SLIDES (Batch 2)
=
2,345 SLIDES
Batch 1 is our best practice for change management.
Batch 2 is an actual project, showing you how we used the theory from Batch 1 to deliver a Change Management program to a client.
That's a big thing. That's why we have Centers of Excellence:
We show you a theory and we show an example.
HOW TO FIND THE CHANGE MANAGEMENT, INFLUENCE & PERSUASION CENTER OF EXCELLENCE (2,345 SLIDES):
1. Log in to The Strategy Control Room, Advanced Level membership area.
2. See the "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE" dropdown.
3. Select "Change Management Influence/Gravitas (Batch 1)" and "Change Management Influence/Gravitas (Batch 2)".
4. Once you select a particular Batch, for example Batch 1, you will see it is broken down into multiple parts. And each part has multiple documents within that subsection. For example, Batch 1 has 10 subsections. And each subsection has multiple documents within it.
If you are The Strategy Control Room, Advanced Level, member, here is the direct link to this particular update (1,267 + 1,078 = 2,345 SLIDES).
