    WHY DO YOU NEED A STRATEGY FACILITATION

    Strategy facilitation gives your business and leadership team the clarity and alignment needed to navigate complex decisions and drive growth. It ensures that all stakeholders are aligned on your organisation’s goals, helps you identify critical challenges and opportunities, and enables you to prioritise initiatives that will deliver the greatest impact.

    A Good Strategy Should Be Able To Answer Key Questions

    WHAT YOU WILL GET

    A clear and actionable strategy that provides direction and empowers your team to make informed decisions. With over 16 years of experience, we work closely with leadership teams to craft customised strategies designed to unlock growth and ensure sustained success.

    Outcomes of our strategy facilitation process include:

    Aligned and committed leadership team.

    Clearly articulated strategic priorities that will propel the business towards its ambition.

    Dynamic strategic themes and measurable objectives.

    A strategy-on-a-page to communicate the strategy to the broader organisation.

    Being an independent and objective third-party facilitator allows us to ask probing, provocative and at times difficult questions to ensure the strategic trade-offs are well considered and informed in order to arrive at a robust final strategy.”

    - Craig Gillham, Managing Director at Step Advisory

    FAQs

    How long does the process run for?

    Depending on the availability of the exco team crafting the strategy the process can take between two to three weeks. It starts with a one-hour kick-off meeting to understand context, plan logistics, and gather relevant information. We then spend time interviewing each of the attendees for the strategy session in one-on-one interviews to get their views on a number of key strategic questions. This feedback is then processed, and all the relevant insights are extracted. The strategy workshops are then planned, and an alignment session is held with the project sponsor. All this preparation then culminates in the core two-day strategy workshop with the leadership team to prioritise key elements and debate relevant topics to ensure clarity and alignment as the growth strategy is co-created by all the leaders.
