MacNeil Consulting has the skills & experience to help you get these strategic business development efforts off the ground, underway and moving effectively forward.
Many of these efforts require an experienced senior type player with general management, business start up and “C” level relationship skills who can devote nearly full time to driving the effort including planning, coordination and management with both internal and external parties.
Often management does not have the bench strength for these kinds of efforts. Delegating the initiative to a senior leader with half the available time needed usually results in delays or failure.
MacNeil Consulting can lead or assist this process including project planning, professional project management of the initiative, facilitation of strategy decisions, work with legal and other outside parties, documentation, establishment of the ROI financial business cases, business modeling, financial modeling and feasibility analysis (capital, expense, human resources, schedule, etc.), stakeholder management, developing the management coalition in support of the initiative, organizational messaging, capability & HR modeling, establishment of performance measures, organizational assessments, surveys and any related research studies or business analysis.
By providing improved processes and professional risk management we believe that the risk of project failure is substantially reduced while attainment of benefits is accelerated with fewer issues and fewer unintended side affects on the organization.
Success of Strategic Business Development efforts are vital to a company’s future. Let us help you Plan to Win in the planning and management of these efforts.
