Business Strategy Services - Service Detail

We specialize in helping you and your team with:
    Customized Solutions: We collaborate closely with you to tailor our services to meet your unique business needs. Our customized approach ensures that our strategies are aligned with your specific objectives, market conditions, and organizational culture. This is all delivered through the Stoneforge Five I’s framework, as follows:

Instinct & Insight: Business Strategy Design

    • Strategic Direction design: We help you focus on what you do best and understand your business strategy in a way that can translate into sales and go-to-market execution, through discovering, evaluating and implementing based on your value discipline.
    • Business Plan design and construction: together we build a “living” business plan, that maps out your trajectory, reason for being, and key metrics. This can then form the basis of your external funding discussions be it through equity, or debt (such as a SBA 7(a) loan).
    • Growth Planning and Projections: We work closely with you to map out strategic plans that align with your business goals. Together, we’ll ensure sustainable growth and long-term success, tailoring every step to your unique vision and market position.

Intention and Implementation: Business Strategy Commitment

    • Sales Compensation Design: We design effective sales compensation plans in consultation with your leadership and sales teams. These plans are crafted to motivate your team and drive performance, all while being fair, transparent, and aligned with your business objectives.
    • Board & Executive-Ready Formats: Our services translate complex business data into clear, concise, and actionable reports. Working together, we’ll ensure that these reports are ready for presentation to your board, providing the clarity and insights they need to support your strategic direction.
    • Implementation Support: From strategy to execution, we provide hands-on support to ensure that your plans are effectively implemented. Our team works alongside yours, offering the expertise and resources needed to turn your vision into reality.

Inspection & Improvement: Business Strategy Iteration

    • Impartial Advice: Benefit from our unbiased perspective as we work with you to navigate through challenges. Our clear and objective guidance helps you make confident decisions in the best interest of your business.
    • Results Analysis: Partnering with your team, we provide a comprehensive analysis of your business results. Our collaborative approach identifies key trends and insights, empowering you to make informed decisions that drive your business forward.
    • Continuous Improvement: Together, we establish processes for ongoing inspection and improvement. Our collaborative approach ensures that your business remains agile and responsive to change, always striving for excellence.

A Practical Roadmap

Every engagement commences with a simple question: What do you want your future you look like?  This encompasses your personal aims, including what you want your business to be worth, when you may want to sell/retire exit (or just do less), and what you feel is holding you back.

We then define with you what a well-run business looks like, and work together to set priorities and uncover roadblocks.

As we progress we map out your path and progress using our Stoneforge Five I’s framework, and work in the trenches with you to get it done,

More than just business strategy, this also encompasses our Strategic Financial Management, Next Generation Analysis, Dashboarding, Sales Strategy, and Go-To-Market strategy services.  Through all of this, we’re also available for the unexpected with our on-call services.

Trust us to illuminate your path forward and empower your business to thrive in an ever-changing landscape. By working together, we’ll unlock new opportunities and achieve extraordinary results.
