"If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else."
To get to where you want to be – whether you’re a start-up, on a growth journey, or needing to pivot to maximise on new opportunities – you’ll need a robust strategy and a detailed plan to get there.
We offer a range of tailored business strategy and planning services to help ensure your business is going in the right direction.
Business Strategy & Plans
If your business plan is your roadmap for how you will get from A to B, your strategy is the reassurance you need before embarking on your journey that B is a destination worth getting to.
We work with clients to develop robust, detailed, and functional strategies and plans to support your business in achieving its goals and objectives.
Our Business Strategy & Planning consultation services include:
- Analysing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, creating a prioritised 12-month Action Plan to mitigate risk and maximise opportunity.
- Market and competitor research to ensure product, service, or market fit and identify potential areas for differentiation or collaboration.
- Horizon Scanning to identify emerging trends or developments that may positively or negatively impact your business.
- Facilitating workshops with management teams and groups of employees to ensure confidential and honest input.
- Developing a 3-year written Business Plan and 12-month Action Plan, with an optional and visually impactful 'pitch deck' to support internal communication.
Scenario Planning
Today’s business environment is often unpredictable and uncertain. No one has a crystal ball, but Scenario Planning does enable you to assert a level of control in an uncertain world.
By bringing together trend analysis, pre-determined driving forces, and critical uncertainties that could impact your business, you can plan for how you will respond in the event a plausible future becomes reality.
Our Scenario Planning consultation services include:
- Engagement with stakeholders to identify driving forces and Horizon Scanning to identify critical uncertainties.
- Undertaking thorough trend analysis and market research to develop structured and detailed 'plausible futures'.
- Developing high-level Action Plans that can be implemented quickly in the event any one plausible future becomes a reality.
- Identifying preferred plausible futures to maximise on potential opportunities that are not currently being explored - there is always opportunity in chaos.
Succession Planning
How robust is your talent pipeline? If critical team members were to disappear tomorrow, would your business be prepared?
Succession Planning has never been more popular, or more needed, in the face of the current skills shortages. From identifying future leaders and managers, to ensuring contingency plans are in place should a business-critical role become vacant, Succession Planning strengthens your business by ensuring you have the right talent in the right roles today, and in the future.
Our Succession Planning consultation services include:
- Identifying key competencies and skills to develop a Competency Matrix.
- Identifying business-critical roles and conducting a gap analysis to highlight potential vacancies.
- Developing an Action Plan to nurture future talent and ensure contingency plans are prepared.
