You’ve got ideas, vision, and ambition, but if it’s all stuck in your head, the team can’t move with you.
I speak with business owners every week who are trying to grow. They’ve got a strong product or service, a good team around them, and a sense of where they want to take the business. But everything still depends on them.
The truth is, most businesses hit a point where the owner becomes the bottleneck. Not because they are doing anything wrong, but because they are still carrying the whole strategy in their head. And that makes it hard for anyone else to help move things forward.
Why most plans don’t stick
If you have ever stepped away for a strategy day, only to return to the same chaos and firefighting, you are not alone.
I have seen so many business owners put time into planning, but nothing really changes. The team keeps working hard, but not always on the right things. Priorities shift, energy drops, and momentum fades.
That is why I created SmartStrat®. It is a practical process that helps you step back, think clearly, and build a strategy that actually gets used. Not just by you, but by your whole leadership team.
What SmartStrat® gives you
SmartStrat® is not about sitting in a room talking in circles. It is about creating clarity and structure so you know where you are going and how to get there.
Here is what we focus on:
A three-year growth plan built around what matters most to you
A 12-month delivery path so your priorities stay on track
A SmartAction Plan that breaks things down into clear responsibilities
A ValueBuilder benchmark to help you measure progress and identify opportunities to build value in your business
We can do this in a single full-day session or over eight short Zoom calls, depending on what fits best for your schedule and pace.
Either way, the goal is the same. You walk away with a plan that drives action.
Real results from real business owners
Andy from Jireh Solutions had started using the Traction framework. But when momentum dropped off during the pandemic, SmartStrat® gave his team the structure and reset they needed to start moving forward again.
Austin from Your Payroll Manager wanted to bring his team together around a clearer vision. Through SmartStrat®, they mapped out their values, built a financial plan for the next 10 years, and created practical strategies to keep growing. His words? The process was energising and focused, and it made strategy feel usable.
That is what SmartStrat® is designed to do. Get your ideas out of your head and into a format your whole team can use.
“I don’t have time for this right now” is exactly why you need it
When you are already juggling too much, it is tempting to put strategy off until things quiet down. But what I have seen time and again is that the longer you wait, the harder it gets to break out of that cycle.
SmartStrat® is not about taking you away from your business. It is about giving you the headspace to think clearly and the structure to lead with confidence. And it gives your team the clarity they need to take ownership and start driving progress.
Use funding to make it happen
If you are based in Worcestershire, you might be able to get up to 50 percent of the cost covered through SkillsBoost funding.
SmartStrat® starts at £900. A full-day, face-to-face version is available for £2,100. Either option qualifies for the funding, and we will guide you through the quick application process.
