Strategic Planning
Canterbury Consulting can help your business create and implement strategic plans. We can help you understand your business’ current state, where it needs to be in order to meet operational and growth targets and then work with you to develop effective and practical plans to get there.
Business Development
Business Development is more than just cold calls and sales pitches. Canterbury Consulting can help you with the creation of SWOT analyses (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) to help your business reach new markets, or develop new products or services. We can also assist you with such business development needs as market analysis, prospect filtering and competency evaluation.
Business Cases
Whether it’s for internal planning or a requirement of a board of directors, a strong business case is essential when undertaking a new business initiative. Canterbury Consulting will work with your company to prepare comprehensive and persuasive business cases that incorporate such areas as financial analysis, market assessment, organizational review and risk assessment.
Supply Chain
Canterbury Consulting can help review your business’ supply chain, including pricing and sales mechanisms, and can create reports and plans which are designed to drive efficiencies and lower costs throughout your supply chain. Ensuring you have an efficient, responsive supply chain is key to the success of your business.
Organizational Change
Without changes, organizations may not be able to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. However, changes must be managed carefully and thoughtfully. Canterbury Consulting can assist your organization with the management of change, whether it is a full organizational change, a change to a department or a change to a process. We can create a strategic vision, assess the impact of the change on employees and the business, create new or improved processes and procedures and help to implement the changes and the opportunities for follow up.
Business Proposals
Many organizations must develop and submit proposals in order to generate new opportunities. These may be standalone proposals or complicated responses to Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Canterbury Consulting can help you with the development of your proposal and can assist in the management of the proposal process to ensure all inputs from your business are presented clearly and effectively. We can also aid you in your search for sources of funding for your business (e.g. public sector funding programs) and work with your team to develop clear, effective proposals that are successful in securing you the funding you need.
