Business Strategy
Business Strategy
At A Few Good People we're not here to re-write your business strategy. What we are good at is making sure that whatever your strategy is, it's clearly understood by your business and firmly embedded in how you operate.
​
Whether your strategy is in your head, or clearly written down, we can help you to bring clarity to your message. Once the message is clear, we can also help you assess what needs to happen to turn your strategy into action.
Business Audit
Sometimes we know there are some things that need fixing. Even though things might feel to be going well, there's always room for improvement. The trouble is, when you're immersed in the day to day challenges of running your business it can be hard to identify the things that are getting in the way and fix them. We can help.
​
Our Business Audit takes a unique view of your business across the key areas of leadership, operations, commercials and products and services. We identify inconsistencies, blockages or opportunities to do business better.
We can offer a two day leadership workshop that can dig into these areas to uncover areas for improvement. Alternatively, for a more comprehensive view we can undertake a deep dive, with in-depth interviews of business leadership and distil to home in on the key insights.
​
At the end of the Audit, you will have a comprehensive and independent view of the hot areas in your business that can be prioritised, and an action plan to carry out any work needed to grow your top and bottom line, combined with greater clarity of your potential value.
Business Vision and Purpose
Businesses often start with a clear vision in mind, but as they grow they constantly need to adapt to a changing business environment. New customers with new needs, new employees with fresh ideas, new products, acquisitions, and competitors can all bring about change.
​
Without a regular checkpoint to ensure everyone is aligned, it's very easy for business teams to get out of sync without realising. The good news is that there are some very effective ways to quickly get back on track and bring clarity to your business strategy and ambition. It starts with our Business Vision and Purpose workshop.
​
It's a one or two day workshop for senior business leaders to align around what's really important. It gets alignment on fundamental questions: why your business is here, what you do for clients and how you should deliver it.
​
With your newly refined vision you will benefit from better business alignment and prioritisation, sharper positioning and clearer messages. This translates into improved employee satisfaction, less waste and duplication, improved customer win rates and higher margins.
From Start-Up to Exit
We can help you navigate through the challenge of setting up a new business and set you up for a valuable exit.
​
We've taken businesses from startup to sale and know what investors will be looking for. We can help you understand what's required to help you concentrate on delivering what matters to you and them. We can offer key contacts to help with the legal and due diligence processes, plus key stakeholders in the investment community.
​
Startup phase:
Being great at what you do is part of the puzzle, but the structures, processes and systems needed to deliver this require careful consideration to get you off the ground and keep running. Let us help you get the strategy and structures set to grow.
​
Sale phase:
The time to exit is close and you are looking at what is needed to make this process run smoothly. We can run this with you, but do this before you commit to a sale to make sure life post-transaction is as smooth as possible. We have experienced several post-sale challenges and knowing whats round the corner is going to make a massive difference to your business.
