Strategy4growth
Strategy4growth is a concise, pragmatic method of formulating the roadmap for value-building growth and wealth creation and provides:
- A shared understanding of the strategic choices within the market context
- An agreed timetable and target for exit
- An agreed set of implementation priorities
- The rationale that underpins a detailed business plan
- A short-form report that summarises the points above.
We base this programme of work around an intensive workshop held with management and any key shareholders. The methodology we use reflects the fact that growth technology businesses require effective strategy and planning that is:
- Robust and achievable
- Exposed to the upside of the underlying market wave
- Market driven
- Survivable with limitation of downside risk
- A pragmatic and expeditious route to revenue and cash generation
- A creator and retainer of value
- Capable of driving an exit that achieves the financial aspirations of the shareholders.
 To begin the process, Venture4th staff with the most relevant market background will meet with key personnel and review relevant company-provided and independent market data to prepare for the workshop.
Venure4th will then use its own resources, market contacts and access to on-line databases to research the input for the workshop. A presentation will be created which examines the implications of key strategic choices, assesses the viability of each in its market context and drives the workshop discussion itself.
The workshop, facilitated by Venture4th, will include participation by executives and shareholders as well as Venture4th personnel. The overall objectives of the workshop will be to explore the optimum route to build and realise value for the shareholders, whilst minimising the risk of failure and maximising the ability to ride the major market wave.
In order to drive each transition through the seven stages of evolution the business leaders must:
- Analyse and understand their market dynamics
- Respond with a proactive strategy and develop their business plan
- Identify the various resources required to execute the plan
- Implement the plan.
Strategy4growth is specifically designed to deliver on points 1, 2 and 3. Venture4th executives have extensive experience working alongside entrepreneurs and investors to develop and execute effective start-up, growth and exit strategies as both executive and non-executive members of technology company boards. Venture4th is often called upon to work with executive teams in a long term relationship to assist in driving plan implementation and eventual realisation. We call this approach Support4growth. |
