Business Strategy & Planning

Experience tells us that before we start our journey, we need to know where we are heading and what it will look like when we get there. Once we have worked with you to established the end points and aligned them to your Vision and Purpose, we then work with you to develop the STRAP (Strategic Road map And Plan) before rolling this out so that ever person, in every department, within every function, has an individual plan and specific goals and objectives to achieve.. Whether we break this down into a numerical business plan, annual budget or even defining & optimising your Business Functions and Organisational Structure, you will get an optimised model that is tailored to you & improves your Business Performance. We run Strategy days, Planning days, Group Planning events and Alignment days for both you and your team.

Board Level Support

When you started your business, according to Michael J Gerber (E-Myth) you suffered from an "Entrepreneurial Seizure" - i.e. you were either an Entrepreneur, a Manager or a Technician. Whichever your were in the beginning you have developed your skills and found out what you are really good at. You may possess technical knowledge, operational, financial, sales & marketing, strategy, visionary or leadership/management skills - where ever your strengths are, you can either be a "jack of all trades - master of none" or you can focus your efforts on your strengths. If the latter is the case you are going to surround yourself with others who are experts in a different area of business. If say you cannot justify a 6-figure Directors salary in each area, bringing someone in 1 day a week - as little as 1 day per month may be the right thing for you. Welcome to the world of Fractional, NED and Board Advisors. You pay for what you get - If you need someone once a month to run your Board Meetings - hire a Non Executive Chair; If you need specific industry advice - Hire a Board Advisor; If you need an Expert in a Field either hire a NED or bring in someone to "own a function" 1 or 2 days per week get a Fractional Director. Pay only for what you need with no additional costs of pensions, NI or other employee benefits. We provide Fractional CEO/MD and Chair roles directly and work with a select few CFOs; FDs; IfT/CRO, COOs; Ops Dir, S&M Dir - who all are brilliant at what they do and will take your business to another level, allowing you to focus on what you enjoy and what you are good at and without having to employ a full time Director.
