Business Strategy Workshops
Have you been doing the same thing for a while and want to know if it's right? Not sure where to next and want help on clarifying your focus for the year ahead?
We can help.
In our 15+ years experience, we have hosted numerous annual strategy sessions with senior leaders.
A good business strategy session will help you prioritise your tasks to maximise value creation, and then give you a simple plan you can use to focus on throughout the year.
Plus, we’ll help you put success measures in place so you know if you are on track or not. We can also help keep you accountable to your plan, so you get the success you deserve.
What is a business strategy workshop?
A business strategy workshop is where you work out the most important things you and your team need to focus on in the year ahead to create the maximum value for your business.
This is not always as easy as it seems. Many leaders may have a different view of what's important, and compete for resources to get it done. Running a business strategy workshop helps not only priorities the key challenges for the year ahead, but also align your team to have the tough discussions upfront.
In addition, it's important to have a clear idea of what success looks like. This allows you to check-in throughout the year to see if you are on track with your plan. This also means you can make better decisions along the way, to make sure you are focussed on the activities that create the most value - and if other opportunities come up, you can easily evaluate against your existing plan.
What's involved with a business strategy workshop?
It's commonly run in-person off-site from your office so you can focus just on the future and create a plan, while minimising distractions of day-to-day operations. We have a clear structure we like to follow to help you tease out all the issues, confirm key priorities for the year ahead, allocate responsibilities and clarify success measures.
In preparation, we will organise a short meeting prior to the workshop with key stakeholders to best understand your business and make the most of the time off-site together.
What do you get from a business strategy workshop?
It can depend on the team and business, but the key objectives we will meet are:
A clear list of priorities for the period ahead
List of success measures, so you can track how you are performing as you go
Clear responsibilities so everyone knows what part they play
Routines needed to help maintain transparency, accountability and momentum in achieving your goals
Clear list of roadblocks that may impact your success so you can prepare accordingly
