Business Planning

An important step for many of our family business clients is to develop a written Strategic or Business Plan, detailing their key projects and priorities over a specified time frame (usually 1-2 years).

A well conceived and constructed Business Plan helps focus the organisation’s energies and resources on a range of specific initiatives and projects, thereby providing a degree of discipline and accountability, and a focus for regular Board meetings.

Facilitating the formulation of a Strategic or Business Plan typically involves:

  • Researching the business and its market
  • Facilitating a structured planning workshop, involving all key stakeholders
  • Incorporating the outcomes of the workshop into a coherent written Strategy/Plan
  • Assisting with communication of the Strategy/Plan to all key stakeholders
  • Ongoing advice and support during implementation of the Strategy/Plan

To support the succession and professionalisation process, SproutAg also offers a range of people development services, including:

  • Mentoring and executive coaching
