Strategic Advisory

There are several essential strategy questions businesses should (but don't always) know the answer to:

1. Where are you going?
2. What do you need to do to get there?
3. Who is going to help you get there?
4. How are you going to plan and measure success?
5. Where does succession planning fit?

Our strategic advisory team will help you answer these questions.

The first stage of any strategic advisory engagement is to get to know your business or organisation at the deepest level possible. This involves getting to know you and your business, what makes it tick and what success looks like for you. Through in-person meetings as well as sending you a range of questionnaires and other materials, we'll also conduct our own market research, using both our national and global network to assess industry conditions. Often specific issues that your organisation may not have been aware of can emerge.

Once we've developed a thorough understanding of your business and the industry you operate in, we'll work out exactly what strategic advisory services your business will benefit from, with the aim of helping you answer the questions above.

Whether you're looking to grow, organise a succession plan, or even if you aren't sure where you want to be, our strategic advisory services can benefit any organisation. From large, established corporates to not-for-profits and Māori organisations, we've supported a broad range of enterprises succeed.

Our strategic advisory services are completely bespoke. You won't receive any off-the-shelf product or even a standard questionnaire. Everything we do will be uniquely tailored to your business, so you can rest assured that your strategy will be completely suited to your individual needs.
