Goals
Where do you want to be in three years, in revenue, profit, size and the role of leadership?
Strategy
Where should your companybe in three years?
A strategy for a mid-sized business is not a thick document. It is a clear decision on what you focus on, and a list of what you stop doing for it.
In short
We work with owners and managing directors to develop a strategy for the next three years: goals, target customers, offering and priorities. The result is a strategy paper of a few pages and an action plan with owners. You start with the fixed-price Business Assessment at $3,900 net, then $1,350 net per workshop day.
When a strategy is missing
Many companies have a strategy in the heads of their leadership, but not on paper. That works as long as all decisions go across one desk. As soon as managers are expected to decide on their own, they need a yardstick.
Typical signs: every order is accepted, even if it barely brings any margin. Investments are decided one by one, without reference to each other. The team does not know which project has priority.
What we clarify together
Target customers and offering
Which customers and services earn you good money today, and where do you want to go?
Priorities
Which three initiatives bring you closest to the goal, and what do you put on hold for them?
Key figures
A few numbers that show you every month whether you are on track.
Succession and role
What role the owners will have in the future and what that means for leadership and organization.
Action plan
Owners, dates and effort for each initiative.
How the strategy work runs
- 01
Business Assessment
Two days of interviews and workshops, remote or on site by arrangement: talks with leadership and key people, a look at numbers, customers and offering.
- 02
Strategy retreat
One to two days with leadership and, if you wish, the management team, away from day-to-day business.
- 03
Strategy paper
A few pages: goals, target customers, priorities, key figures. Clear for everyone who makes decisions based on it.
- 04
Implementation
Measures with owners and dates, with monthly support if you wish.
Our stance
A strategy that only leadership understands will not be implemented. That is why we write it so that every manager can derive their next decisions from it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to develop a strategy?
From the Business Assessment to the finished strategy paper we expect four to eight weeks. The effort in workshops and interviews is usually three to four days.
What does strategy consulting at FNLY Consulting cost?
The Business Assessment costs $3,900 net at a fixed price. The retreat and strategy paper are billed at $1,350 net per day. A typical strategy project with Business Assessment and two retreat days therefore costs around $6,600 net.
Who should take part in the strategy work?
Always the leadership and the owners. Whether the management team joins is something we decide together. It often makes sense to involve them in the second half of the retreat.
Do we need current figures for a strategy?
The results of the last two to three years and an overview by customer or service are helpful. No further preparation is needed, we work out the rest in the Business Assessment.
