SME Business Strategy

A great (flexible, action-oriented, specific, and calculated) strategy can take an SME to the next level. This is the work I am committed to doing to help enterprises improve and fulfill their missions in a sustainable and profitable way.

Having gained managerial experience at Amazon (for 5 years as a top-tier employee), I have immersed myself in really detailed strategic planning. Later, I have used it to turn around and save from bankruptcy an SME in healthcare distribution (£10MM revenue, 80 employees).

What's so different about detailed strategic planning?

1. It analyses the context and trends in your market.


2. It identifies growth opportunities and cost savings potential that are realistic in the near-term (1-year), and long-term (3 years).


3. It then calculates the ROI on the initiatives and assesses them based on financial impact, strategic importance for the company and feasibility.


4. It sets the milestones for the strategy with metrics showing success or a need for re-consideration.


5. It includes scenario planning and risk assessment for both external events and internal triggers with a few proposed paths for reaction.


6. It encompasses the entire organisation from organisational culture to bottom line profitability.


7. It provides the founder, operator, CEO, a detailed action plan for the next 1-3 years to differentiate themselves in the market.

At the beginning, I offer a free assessment of your enterprise which is completed through my business diagnostic framework. This will identify the key areas of focus with initial recommendations. Based on that, we can start working together on the strategy.
