STRATEGY INTENSIVE

Guide Your Business Through Challenging Times

In bygone days, growing and managing a business was relatively simple. Our world was considerably more stable, and a business could develop a ten-year plan with clear end goals – and then simply stick to that plan. As a leader, you could concentrate on devising strategies and getting people to execute them without worrying too much about unforeseen obstacles.

Unfortunately, the arrival of the Coronavirus signals a new era. We’re now living in a world of strongly increased social, political and economic uncertainty, which affects businesses of all sizes, from large corporations down to sprouting start-ups. Not only that, but global society is experiencing a huge swing to a more digital way of working.

As a leader, if you want your businesses to survive these uncertain times, you’ll have to take charge of your own destiny and shape your own future. The Strategy Intensive of the Food Strategy Institute provides a step-by-step approach based on four essential components taken from our proven one-year Strategic Insight ™ Program.

As the name indicates, the Strategy Intensive is a four-week program, especially crafted for business leaders in the food industry who need to steer their business through the challenges introduced by the Coronavirus pandemic. In a four-week period, as a leader, you will dive deeply into the following topics:

► Mitigating risks and challenges to safeguard stability in your business

► Exploring opportunities to increase the bottom-line performance

► Getting deep insights into the team dynamics of your top team

► Bringing all insights together and creating a clear route forward

DETAILS OF THE
STRATEGY INTENSIVE

The Strategy Intensive starts on the first Monday of each month, and lasts for four weeks. Each Monday the participants will get access to that week’s online learning module. In each module all the concepts are clearly explained, including all relevant downloads and a profound short-term implementation plan. Based on the module content, the participants will execute their implementation plan before the end of the week. Over the weekend, the Food Strategy Institute team will review all the progress made and on Monday and Tuesday in the following week, each participant will have a fully confidential, one-on-one online call with one of our executive advisors. During the call the results will be discussed in detail, ensuring each participant gets maximum value out of the program.

This is NOT a program to sit back and relax. The Strategy Intensive, requires you to invest at least one day per week in learning new concepts, executing the implementation plan and discussing the progress made with one of our executive advisors.

Your investment for the Strategy Intensive is $5,000. This might sound like a lot, but consider that within the 4 weeks you should be able to identify savings equating to at least 1% of your company's top line and the strategic actions should deliver at least 0.1% of that value in the short term, making it a sound investment with a very short pay-back time.

THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO:

1. Effectively lead your organization through these challenging times and stay financially healthy

2. Base your decisions on profound insights in your business and external factors, seizing the opportunities that emerge

3. Be the efficient leader that creates structures and processes to address organizational challenges

4. Bring a clear strategic plan to the table for the next six to twelve months and execute on it with rigor
