significant changes in its funding and competitive environment,
and requested our help to develop a practical strategic plan to
prepare for these changes. We facilitated their strategic
planning process, which included participation of their
action-oriented plan board of directors, and guided them in the
creation of an that addressed issues relating to growth,
staffing, funding and partnerships with other organizations. Advising companies on marketing strategiesAn audio/video production company had trouble selling its
products despite creative ideas and strong technical skills. We
helped focus their efforts by integrating market research into
all aspects of the business from product creation to sales. We
then demonstrated this approach by gathering key market data and
developing effective strategies for marketing one of their
products. Helping nonprofits develop successful business venturesAn organization that produces public radio documentaries and
interactive Internet events was facing declining support from
their traditional funding sources and was looking to
income-generating ventures to replace some of these monies. We
conducted market research and worked closely with them to
identify their best business ideas. We then recommended marketing
and financial planning strategies to develop those ideas into
successful ventures. Developing business plans for new and growing companiesManagement of a printing company faced a confusing tax issue
that threatened the future of their business. By providing an
analytical perspective, we enabled them to re-evaluate their key
business assumptions and relationships. Our detailed critique of
their current business plan was then utilized by management to
develop a response to this problem. Forging effective Internet strategiesMany organizations feel they should be doing "more"
via the Internet, but are not sure what would be appropriate and
cost-effective for them, given their mission and constituencies.
We worked with a major nonprofit to develop strategies to launch
and sustain a web site to improve interaction with existing and
potential new constituencies, and to initiate profitable
income-generating opportunities. |
