Norfolk Business Planning
Is it time to step back and review your business?
At whatever stage of business growth your company is at, taking stock on a regular basis is necessary to ensure that your organisation remains on track to achieve business objectives.
The best way to approach this is by working with a professional business mentor who can help develop thoughts and ideas and throw in a few new ones at a planning meeting.
Who would benefit from a business planning session?
A planning session is suitable for an owner, manager or key decision maker of a business who wants to step away from the day-to-day operations to focus on the bigger picture and plan for the future.
A strategic planning session would be specific to individual needs and might include:
- A reminder of how and why the business was founded.
- Take a fresh look at your ideas and re-focus your mind.
- Help identify opportunities and evaluate them.
- Identify any changes within the working environment that may have crept up on you in the fast-changing world.
- Look at business structure – do you have the right team around you?
- Re-align company activities to meet your objectives.
A senior management team are likely to need something very different and may include:
- A review of company values and vision
Agree on company objectives. - Identify any changes needed within the company structure.
- Assess whether the right people are in the right roles to achieve company objectives and identify any skills gaps.
- Agree on budgets.
Form an action plan to deliver on company objectives.
