Strategic Planning & Consulting
Planning for growth: beyond goals, budgets & valuations. "If it isn't written, it isn't real."
Strategic Planning
Most successful businesses don't just shoot from the hip without a plan, especially if outside investors or bank loans are in the picture. With a solid plan in place you'll feel confident presenting to third parties and keeping yourself on track for growth.
Whether you're already in business or just getting started, I can play whatever role you need during this strategizing phase. I'm a pro at brainstorming and organizing ideas, seeing the big picture, thinking outside the box, and being a good devil's advocate. Yes, I just used all the business clichés I could think of at the moment.
Business Plan Writing
The final result of strategizing is the business plan. Together, you and I will sit down and put on paper the company's mission/vision, description of products/services and how they're different, market analysis, organizational structure, SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats), and financial statements and projections.
Getting all this down on paper is not setting it in stone. Having a written plan makes it easier to see where you can improve and where you are succeeding, so you can make informed changes.

This process requires in-depth market research, including competitive analysis and budget projections.
