Clarifying your Market
For clients who aren’t sure where to start, I begin by asking questions that are often variations of these:
• Do you know your numbers?
• Do you know where your business comes from?
• What are the costs?
• What are the challenges?
Strategic Planning
To clarify the direction to go in, how to get there and decisions that will need to be made along the way, we focus on these three crucial steps:
• Setting a Vision.
• Planning a Strategy aligned to your Vision.
• Executing every step of the Strategy; to reach performance levels needed to achieve your Vision.
It’s essential to have a plan for what you want to achieve and to know what your end goal is. You then need to action your plan, stick to it and be consistent … Setting small milestones so that along the way, so that you can see progress is being made. And of course, measure your performance.
Don’t be afraid to call in experts to help - it’s important to have a support crew.
Forming Leadership Teams
One of my specialties is helping companies to form leadership teams. If your company is currently rudderless due to lack of senior leadership, I can step in on an interim basis to establish the structure needed to move forward. For example, I can work with your leadership team to completely reconstruct your strategy or organisational structure, to drive performance and sustainable growth.
