Strategic diagnosis
Exploring and analyzing
A strategic diagnosis process is a key step which looks very much like a health check of your business. It’s the process of analyzing its internal and external environments. We examine the threats, opportunities, strengths and weaknesses of your business. This assessment will allow us to determine your strategic positioning in the market.
- External analysis (macro-environment and micro-environment)
- Internal analysis (management functions review)
- SWOT analysis (interactions between internal and external environments)
- Value proposition
- Identification of major strategic issues
Strategic planning or strategic blitz
Aligning and engaging
Strategic planning defines precisely where your business is heading over the next three years and how it's going to get there. It’s a process that aligns your business growth with the challenges ahead and the steps to put in place to sustain its growth.
