Corporate Services
A strategic plan is the first step towards moving a business away from being dependent on the owner(s) and towards a fully systematized and profitable operation.
Our aim is to help you create a picture of what your business will be like when it is fully “complete”.
We spend some time with you (typically one day) and listen. We facilitate a discussion of:
-
The personal objectives of the business owner(s);
-
The strategic plan of the business;
-
A five-year summary of financials;
-
Value pricing opportunities;
-
Unique selling points of the business; and
-
Exit routes and business value.
The benefits of this discussion are:
-
Consensus on key issues and strategies to address them,
-
Commitment to, and capacity for, implementing the strategies,
-
Clearer communication of priorities,
-
Improved cooperation among those pursuing strategic objectives, and
-
More effective management control of strategic initiatives.
