BUSINESS STRATEGY.

Don’t leave your business success to chance.

Do you have a bulletproof roadmap for your business?

Leaving your business success to chance is unwise. Yet, that’s what so many small and medium business owners do. Although business leaders might think they know what their goals are, when asked to articulate them, it’s not always possible!

Some organisations are good at holding an annual strategy day, but after this starburst of inspiration, things return to business-as-usual pretty quickly, as there is no implementation plan or accountability.

An actionable business strategy provides a bulletproof roadmap for: where you want to go; and how you will get there.

Whether you are wanting to increase profitability, improve productivity, increase your market share, improve team cohesion, or reduce reliance on a key person (possibly you!), you need a plan, and the tools to execute it effectively.

PROGRAM OPTIONS

1. Dedicated Business Strategy Program

We can work with members of your leadership team to develop and execute a business strategy over a 12-month period.

2. Group Business Strategy Program

Alernatively, you can join with a small group of business leaders from non-competing industries to go through the same process in a more cost-effective manner.

DEDICATED STRATEGY PROGRAM

A focused program to shape your organisation’s future

For the duration of this 12-month program, we work with a small group of your organisation’s leaders (and any identified emerging leaders).

We commence with a two-day workshop offsite. You will come away with a business strategy and implementation plan. We’ll provide you with the tools and coaching to stay on track between three Quarterly Reset and Review Sessions with your leadership group.

We can commence a Dedicated Strategy Program at any time of the year.

GROUP BUSINESS STRATEGY PROGRAM

Strategy and learning in a powerful group setting

Twice yearly, we offer a limited number of places in our popular Group Business Strategy Program. The content and process is identical to our Dedicated Strategy Program. However, we bring together owners and senior managers from five different businesses, in non-competing industries.

By participating alongside other business leaders, the learnings and ideas are multiplied.  Participants learn a great deal from each other’s ‘war stories’ and are amazed by the fresh perspectives that come from peers in different industries.

We go through the steps outlined below. However, there is an additional benefit for those who are in the group program, which is being connected to a group of alumni from the program.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

1. Preparation

Your strategy needs to be well informed. In the month prior to your Strategy Workshop, we undertake an external scan and market discovery process to better understand performance benchmarks for your industry. We may also conduct employee and customer surveys to see where you are going well, and where potential improvements exist.

2. Strategy Workshop

We guide the development of your business strategy in a two-day planning workshop. You will set long-term goals, and then reverse engineer the future - distilling the goals down into actionable short-term plans. You will leave in a position to present the plan to your broader team, and the tools to get them on board.

3. Leadership Execution Coaching

We check in two weeks after the initial workshop to ensure you have stayed on track. We then provide monthly follow ups. This coaching is a critical ingredient for our program’s success. The continual accountability and support for the execution of your strategic plan is what makes it come to life.

4. Quarterly Reviews

The program includes three half-day, quarterly Review and Reset Sessions, when your group comes back together. These reviews are great for accountability, learning and motivation, taking you all the way through your first 12 months.

5. Toolkit

We will set you up for success with project implementation and communication tools. These best practices for executing your business strategy will ensure you bring your team along for the ride.

RASCI

The RASCI model is a tool that can be used for identifying roles and responsibilities. It can be used to clarify tasks in position descriptions as well as identifying expectations during an organisational change process. This tool helps by creating clearly identified and communicated activities with set delegations.

Workforce Planning

Workforce planning is all about having the right people in the right roles doing the right thing in the right way – both now and planning for the future based on your strategic direction. Structure follows strategy.

Functionality Chart

With input from management and utilising a functionality analysis tool, this chart visually displays the current allocation of work duties and responsibilities of your organisation at the strategic, operational and service delivery levels. This information is then analysed to identify gaps and identify who should be responsible for certain activities moving forwards.

Clarity Hearing Solutions is a small, family owned and operated Company that grew faster than even our own expectations. The growth brought increased levels of staffing and a need for more business structure.

Bringing Focus HR on board has enabled us to not only build the structure we required but allowed us to do this in a way that did not intimidate or upset our existing employees. Management is constantly learning through the mentoring from Naomi, with senior management feeling more confident in their HR interactions.

FAQs
Do I need to be a business owner?

Both business owners and senior management can attend a group business strategy workshop.

Can I attend online?

The initial two-day workshop is held in person in Toowoomba. The workshop is followed by three half-day, quarterly reviews, also conducted in-person.

What kind of business strategy will I come away with?

Your business strategy is like a one-page bible; articulating the why, what and how of your business goals in a highly accessible format.

It is a working document, regularly reviewed so as to remain relevant and top of mind.

Our tailored business strategies examine:

  • Why does your business exist in the first place?
  • A vivid description of the business you want or need to become in the future.
  • The values behind your business’ decision-making.
  • Your moonshot goal – the thing that will make your unique business legacy ten years from now.
  • The top two or three measures that will track your success on your way to achieving your moonshot goal.
  • Working back from 3-year goals, a statement of 12-month goals and then quarterly implementation goals on which your team will focus.
  • Your SWOTT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, trends).
