STRATEGIC PLANNING

Why Strategic Planning is your Secret Weapon for Business Success.

In the initial set up phase of your business you were probably more concerned with getting money through the door now than planning for the future. You may have had a basic business plan but did not give much thought to establishing a long term position.

Now, a few years on, you begin to realise that you need a long term plan for business stability and growth. The marketplace is changing, your confidence, goals and aspirations may also be changing.

Time to focus on Strategic Planning. This is a time to re-group, explore the possibilities of your business and create a clear plan to achieve your long term business goals.

However, this is not always easy to do on your own. You may have key stakeholders that have different aspirations or staff members with particular views. Having an independent professional co-ordinate your efforts brings a team together so you can assess priorities and implement effective implementation.

Even as a sole business operator, this strategic planning process can help you grow your business to the level you aspire to.

Options available.

• The Sole Business Owner - A step by step process for single business owners to develop their business strategy in a guided and supported space.
• Business with Small Team - A holistic facilitation framework that encourages the key players to dream, plan and unite with clear vision and purpose.
• Overall Strategic Business Plan - 1yr, 5yr, 10yr
• Strategic Marketing Plan

Strategic planning is valuable not only to help you map a course of action to ensure you meet your goals, but as an important document to help staff, shareholders, stakeholders and potential investors to see the “big picture” for your company. It creates a reference point for all implementation initiatives and a method to track your success.

Essentially it gives you and your business the edge in your market.
