STRATEGIC PLANNING
Business strategy consultants.
A number of events can occur in the life of a company that require us to take a step back and look at our activities, resources, efficiency, growth prospects, and so on. Whether it’s an opportunity to be considered, a financial challenge, a major change in the market or dissatisfied customers, an organization’s agility in adapting to its business environment is an essential quality for staying competitive and ahead of the game.
In the heat of the moment, taking the time to think strategically may seem difficult or even superfluous for management teams to prioritize, but it’s vital. Outsourcing this activity, with the close involvement of your management team, gives you an impartial, objective and more complete view. Our team supports organizations from analysis through to strategic recommendations. In some cases, our team can also implement some of its recommendations.
OUR STRATEGY SERVICES
The main strategic activities for a company
Business diagnosis
This first stage consists of gathering as much information as possible about the organization and its market, and analyzing it using tools that enable us to draw conclusions about the company’s positioning in its environment.
In concrete terms, we analyze the company, its business opportunities, its culture, its industry and its stakeholders.
Strategic choices
Based on the company’s vision, its challenges and the findings of the diagnosis, it is now possible to consider the most appropriate and effective strategy for the company.
Strategy deployment
This step makes it possible to assess organizational performance in relation to the strategies envisaged, and to identify the one chosen. An action plan is then drawn up to identify the initiatives to be implemented, the teams responsible, the resources required and the budget allocated.
Our team can provide your management team with targeted strategic advice, update your business plan or carry out a complete strategic planning exercise. We can accompany the company through each of these stages, or act as advisors for some of them.
We also tailor our deliverables to the needs of your situation and whether they are intended for your management team or external players, ranging from detailed document, executive format, operational summary or business plan.
