Business Planning

Many business plans are written solely to secure external funding. A good business plan will, however, do much more and should provide a strong platform for your business – often (and we recommend) without being a massively detailed document.

Season Business consultancy supports you to put strong plans in place, achieve financial goals and address critical resource requirement in the planning process.

We work with clients to help them plan and in most cases write the plan up following delivery of Business Development Workshop (BDWs) held with senior members of your team.

Business Strategy

Our business Accelerator Programme prompts clients to consider new strategies for the development of their business.

Strategy must be understood, planned and then implemented. It must identify what your business has to do now and in the future to be successful and qualify what successful means. Whilst driven at senior management level, strategy must be owned by decision makers throughout your business to be successful.

However, we are also firm believers that development strategy should be fun and have considerable expertise in achieving this balance, through use of strategic tools which significantly differentiate your business from others.

Change Management

Designing for the future is a better bet than designing for now.

Invariably, new strategies involve a process of change which must be handled at the right pace and carefully considered.

We work with our clients to achieve the benefits of change – whether driven through extraordinary growth opportunities, market alignment, investor, merger, acquisition or downsizing.

We take the future seriously and we support our clients to design new organisation and have a wealth of experience in redesigning existing. Assessing all the elements of an organisation and its operating environment and acting to bring them into alignment has given our clients outstanding results, allowing them to continuously perform well.

We do not offer off-the-shelf solutions to drive change. Our approach is collaborative and driven by often constantly evolving challenges which face dynamic, high – performing organisations.

We are an expert in performance driven change, human capital management, organisational design, communication and project plans. We have seen excellent results from these programmes and will be happy to discuss case studies with you upon request.

Our view is that there are clear linkage between strategy, organisational behaviour and the management of change – leadership has to be effective and Season Business will help you achieve this. During transition, our consultants are on hand to assess, manage and advice of the infrastructure and systems required for successful business transformation.

Project Management

What is a well run project?

Projects should fit with business strategy, be clearly defined and bring specific benefits to your business.
