Business & Operations Strategy

Before we can provide solutions, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of the problems. When undertaking any business, process, or people improvement work, it is essential to understand and document the strategic and operational direction of a business. Business & Operations Strategy is the process of defining the current state and ideal future position of an organisation, in terms of its capability, efficiency and profitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Business operations strategy is a structured approach to assessing where your organisation stands today and where it needs to go in terms of capability, efficiency, culture, and profitability. It involves a detailed review of your operations along with defining clear goals and KPIs, and developing a strategic operations plan that guides your team towards continuous improvement and operational excellence.

A well-crafted strategy streamlines processes, reduces waste, and improves key performance areas such as safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and culture. Strategic operations planning aligns your business operations with business goals, breaks down silos between departments, and empowers leaders to work on the business, not just in it (a common struggle we see in the company when they begin to work with us). Most importantly, it fosters a culture of growth, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Our strategy consultants work with a diverse range of industries including manufacturing, logistics, professional services, retail, finance, education, government, and not-for-profits. Through our tailored approach, we ensure we understand and address the unique challenges of each sector.

 

We have found many clients appreciate our fresh perspective, even if we haven’t worked in their specific industry before, as it often reveals opportunities for operational efficiency and growth.

Every successful business operations strategy starts with strong leadership. We work with senior leaders within the businesses to define the vision, goals, and motivation for improvement. Engaging employees across all levels of the organisation follows next, helping us understand challenges and goals. This collaborative approach creates a solid foundation for a strategy that reflects your business needs and supports a culture of continuous improvement and accountability across the whole organisation.

Success is measured through clearly defined KPIs aligned with your business objectives. We regularly track progress, use data-driven insights to identify areas for improvement, and gather feedback from stakeholders. Strategies are refined over time based on performance, ensuring they remain effective, practical, and relevant to your evolving goals while also helping engagement and drive.

The timeframe depends on your organisation’s readiness, commitment, and senior management buy-in. Quick wins can appear within 2–6 months, medium-term improvements may take 6–12 months, and complete cultural and operational transformation can take a year or longer. Our strategy consultants help with regular reviews, having clear visual tracking of KPIs, and creating strategies around maintaining consistent team engagement to support sustaining momentum and achieving lasting change.
