Business Planning for success
Strategic Business Planning
Where a current business strategy is not in place, Flexicom will work with the owner or managing director to develop a viable strategy that is challenging, achievable, and the framework for the long term success of the company. Various methods and sources of information may be used to help develop the business strategy including:
- Principle's growth or exit expectations
- SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats)
- Competitive environment analysis (customers, channels, competitors, supply chain, partners)
- Internal capabilities review (products & markets, skills, knowledge, facilities)
- External environment review (PESTEL)
Tactical Business Planning
Taking the company's business strategy, Flexicom's commercial managers can develop a tactical, short term action plan. The tactical business plan typically covers the next 12 months and clarifies how the next steps towards the long term company goals will be achieved, for example:
- Modifying, developing or withdrawing products
- Entering, developing or withdrawing from markets
- Developing strategies to up-sell and retain existing customers
- Reducing employee turnover
- Operational cost reductions
- Near term detailed financial forecasts
