Business Strategy
Sir John Harvey-Jones
It is a fact that most businesses do not plan: whether it be a budget for the coming financial year or developing a long term plan of action to achieve business goals.
Business owners who do plan are significantly more successful than those who don't. They work on their businesses rather than in them; they create greater wealth and have more choice available; they are more likely to be happy and retire earlier. Why would you not choose to plan?
The Strategic Winner Workshop
At The FD Group, we have developed a process of strategy development called The Strategic Winner. Our Finance Directors take the business owner through the three strategy phases identified below in a workshop format discussing the important decisions facing the business.
Strategy Analysis - Requires an understanding of the factors affecting the business. It involves agreeing personal and business goals; identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; understanding the market place for your products and how to differentiate these products from your competition.
Strategy Choice - Identifies available strategy options and selects the option(s) that meet the expectations and objectives of key stakeholders, namely the shareholders or owners.
Strategy Implementation - Once the strategy has been analysed and selected, the task is to translate it into action.
Some homework is required in advance to help plan but you will be surprised and amazed by the results. Instead of planning on a day-to-day basis, start planning 3 to 5 years out. You will know where you are heading, rather than taking each day as it comes and hoping everything will turn out right.
At the end of the process you will be given a strategy plan, a working document, which will detail your strategy, goals, actions, milestones, and critical business success factors.
