Business Strategy
What is the business trying to achieve and how should it get there. Most businesses have a plan when the set off on their journey. After a bit of time what is often missing is re-calibration on the compass and sometimes redefining the endpoint.
As Mike Tyson once stated, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. Doing business is a bit like this and plans must forever be adapted along the way.
Marketing planning and branding
