Strategy

We have our own proprietary programs:

Strategy4Action - the main framework

With 3 main and indispensable building blocks – Analysis, Strategy, and Action – the Strategy4Action Framework is a step-by-step guide to define or fine-tune your company’s Strategy and put it in Action.  Our services comprise coordinating this process for you (or any part of it you might need).  We will leave you with a great detailed Action Plan that will give you confidence your Strategy will be set in motion.

Putting Together YOUR STRATEGY - framework

PTYS is a simpler program and it’s meant for companies that already have a good idea of what they want to do and the general path they should take but need help in putting those ideas into a Strategic Plan including Financial Projections.

Choosing Strategically Framework

Choosing Strategically will tell you what are the Strategic CHOICES you must consider to have a Strategy and how to make Strategic decisions that make a difference. I can also personally come in to facilitate these decision choices.

Strategy Training

Do you have a good team? With good people? Make them even better! Teach them Strategy! They will start looking at everything they do with a strategic eye and act strategically EVERYDAY. I will personally teach your team about Strategy and how to think and act strategically. It’s about a 15 hour program.

Fractional CFO

You have a small or medium company, yet you don’t feel you need quite a full-time CFO but you’d like similar part-time services from a contracted experienced CFO.

This includes supervision over accounting, handling of tax matters with CPA, cash management (AR/AP), relationship with Banks, inventory and cost Accounting, budgeting and reporting, relationship with Board; HR and IT supervision if needed.

Fractional Financial Planning and Analysis

Monthly Financial Control and Management; know how you are tracking against your goals.  We can also set KPIs and Scorecards.  Could also be help analyzing the merit of large investments or projects. Need help re-structuring your cost-accounting structure or reviewing the costing methodology for your products?  I can help with that too.

M&A

These are usually processes that are disruptive to a company and consume a lot of internal resources.  Make it easier on yourself and get some help for any or all the steps of the process:  Defining the business case, finding targets or buyers, doing due diligence and/or setting up data room, negotiations, contract drafting (NDA, Letters of Intent, Purchase and Sale Agreements, Shareholders’ Agreement, etc.), completion, Stabilization, Integration, and performance evaluation.  Buy or Sell side.
