The Challenge:

The business was performing inconsistently for three years before The Growth Catalysts commenced the engagement. Business plan targets had never been met in the history of the business.

The objective of the engagement was to stabilise performance and create a clear growth trajectory towards higher topline and bottomline.

What we did:

Worked with the leadership team to align them and create better collaboration between interdependent parts of the business to create greater efficiency resulting in better performance without an increase in resources. A team based business plan was created and executed during the engagement.

The Challenge:

• The leadership team had drifted to differing positions on strategy leading to a serious lack of alignment that was impacting results.

What we did:

• Worked with the team to align each member to
  • Define the organization’s vision
  • Create a strategy to achieve the goals based on this vision
  • Align each member with the organizational strategy
  • Implement the team and individual strategies for the firm’s growth
