Strategy & Business Planning
Wentwood's approach is to take Strategy and Business Planning away from an "Ivory Tower" environment to a workshop environment. An environment which will enable individuals, teams, and boards to prioritise actions to achieve their strategic aims. We seek to help put in place a process and momentum so that their business plan becomes dynamic – not a document full of dating analysis which could gather dust.

We have experience of running workshops for a number of organisations including those engaged in engineering, manufacturing, distribution, health, professional services, entertainment, information security and agriculture.

These have focused on facilitating discussions on broad strategy to looking at specific initiatives which an organisation has planned. Attendance has ranged from the full board, to members of key functional areas or just finance teams. All have had an action focus. A common approach is for output to result in 30-100 day action plans with clear accountability among the attendees for completing actions.

In addition, smaller workshops have been held for key individuals to determine their personal and departmental 100 day plans, where access to an independent challenger and sounding board can be vital soon after an appointment.

Workshop approaches clearly vary based on the specific needs of an organisation and individuals but will often cover:
  • Attributes of future success
  • Identification of barriers and enablers
  • A review of current and planned initiatives
  • Identification of key actions and next steps
