Working with us will help you create a more valuable plan which you can directly integrate into your business.

A STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN DELIVERS;

* The ability to plan on paper, quickly and cheaply, rather than experimenting with real cash and resources in the real world

* Creates the ability to draw tangible progress points for tracking and accountability (for you and your team)

* Enables the key actions to be identified to progress your business to the next growth/profit level

* Allows scenario testing and research for new products, equipment or staff to ensure viability

Our approach…….

To start with, you need to consider the most appropriate planning process and format for your needs, as one rule does not fit all businesses.

We consider how the plan will be used and for what audience – as this will influence the planning format used.

With all of our Strategic Business Plans, they are built for the specific business, customised to their strengths, weaknesses and objectives.

Creating your Business Plan

For our Strategic Business Planning service, we build these with you over consecutive weeks in a set program structure of 6, 8 or 12 weeks. This means that the draw on your time is minimised, whilst at the same time allowing the creation of a more considered plan.

The time between sessions provides valuable thinking time, as well as confirmation of what has been agreed from one meeting to the next.

As part of our planning process, we guide you towards what we believe is the most appropriate planning format for your needs. We consider several factors in this and have 3 core formats that we use.

Creating a Strategic Business Plan is a step in a business improvement progress, as it identifies what needs to be done to progress the business forward. As part of our process, we specifically identify all of these individual action points to make bringing the plan to life that much easier.
