Helping businesses and charities operate with clarity, confidence, and control
Any business leader goes through a cycle on the strategy front – plan a strategy for a project, fixed time period or a business phase. Sometimes we hit our target early, sometimes they have to roll into the next window, some of those goals become redundant to the company direction, in a way you would never have foreseen.
Regardless, you’ll be at a point where you either need a strategy, it’s time to update your current one, or maybe, you keep making plans and never seem to achieve them – Which one are you?
Whether your strategy plans/document has expired, you’ve never had one, or it is just a list in your head, then now is the time to change that. A sizeable proportion (54%) of small and medium businesses don’t have a business plan [source: The Marketing Centre] and fewer than 50% of start-ups don’t make it to 5 years of operating [source: ONS]. So with that in mind, can you really afford to proceed without a plan?
At Legge-Work, we work on the basis that you know your business best. That doesn’t mean we won’t offer challenges to your assumptions or way of thinking, but we never walk in and start telling you how to run your business – we work with you to generate a strategy that works for you… really works.
Sometimes its sales-focused, other times it is company goals, compliance or continuous improvement – no matter what the task, we work with you to deliver the outcomes your business needs. As we’re respectful of different budgets and operational styles, if you prefer, we’ll get you set up and leave you to it, whatever works best for you.
Even without us – get a company “To-Do” list together, use it to get things fixed, updated or progress towards change – its the minimum you can do that will work towards making a difference and if you ask for the input of your team, that will fill out pretty quickly – making it a strong way to start the conversations around task delegation and team-working if you need an “ice-breaker” to get the team to that way of thinking.
Review
Sometimes, all we need is a little sanity check on our work – whether you’re a solo operator, the lone director leading the way or you’re part of a wider team but not seeing the support in developing the business strategy year after year, we support you in looking at the work completed.
Whether it involves challenging the thoughts and processes behind the goals and decisions you’ve outlined, or if you want to make sure your metrics and data sets align, there is always a need for having a second pair of eyes on the calculations or decisions.
At Legge-Work, we provide that critical review, in a constructive manner than helps you rest easy in the knowledge you’ve covered your bases and delivering on the plans you have in place will truly make a difference to the future of your business.
Reach out to us, to get that helping hand, in guiding the future of your business, in the way that works best for you and your team.
Refresh
If you find that your strategy isn’t working for you – its a problem that can’t be shied away from.
When it comes to delivering the business goals you have identified you need and there isn’t progress, or the goals have become redundant due to developments in the position of the business, it is time to get back around the drawing board and work out what needs to stay and what needs that refresh.
If you’re not making progress, we work to support you in breaking down the goals, identifying where the road bumps are, helping smooth the way and help get you back on track.
Goals no longer aligned with your progress and vision, we work out whether its the goals or the progress that is off key, work with you to identify how you want to proceed and then work to develop different outcomes for the year.
It can’t be over-stated, having the view of an impartial, external and experienced party when reviewing your strategy can be critical in delivering the best chance of the changes you want to see made to your business.
Are you insightful, capable of planning an ideal business strategy, but seem to struggle getting it working, or not getting the buy in from your team?
Let us help.
No one person can be all things and that’s the very reason we have teams to deliver on our goals… but what if you don’t have the right team yet?
When it comes to great plans, they can be let down in the delivery and not doing them justice can be a down-heartening experience.
We offer the support in delivering on these plans, whether through integration in the team, accountability in delivery or through partnering you with the right service from our wide-ranging address book of contacts.
Inertia is a powerful force amid the day-to-day distractions of business and can often hamper efforts to make progress, which is exactly the reason for engaging the services of external parties, such as us, that are able to keep clear of the problems that prevent you and your team making the progress you know can make the difference.
OR
Maybe you’ve used us to setup your strategy and after getting it underway, you’re falling behind on delivery, even though you know the capacity is there to achieve it – we know how tricky the day-to-day is and exactly how easy it is to get side-tracked, which is why we are always happy to jump back in and support or lead the changes you need, whatever approach suits you best.
