Business Services / Strategy and Project Management
Business strategy and project management
Strategy and execution to meet your objectives.
At a glance
A plan is only as good as its delivery
Good ideas rarely fail for lack of vision. They fade when momentum stalls and the work slips. Arore builds the plan with you, then stays to deliver it.
Who it's for
Owners and leadership teams in engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, retail, publishing and B2B, in Canada, Europe and Australia.
What Arore does
Takes an honest look at where your business stands, builds a plan with milestones you can measure, then manages the projects that deliver it.
Why it matters
Year after year, administrators name poor strategic management in around 4 in 10 Australian company failures.
Source: ASIC, Insolvency statistics: external administrators' reports, 2010–11 to 2018–19. Administrators can name more than one cause of failure.
Your objectives are true north

- Everything else
Arore checks every plan, project and decision against the objectives you set.
Where plans stall
The plan isn't usually the problem
The planning day goes well. Everyone leaves the room agreeing on the targets, the priorities and who owns what.
Then Monday arrives. A big order needs chasing, a key person is away and the quarterly figures are due. The plan is still in a folder somewhere, but nobody has opened it since the meeting.
By the end of the quarter, the targets are still on the whiteboard. Everyone was busy. That was the problem: the plan was nobody's job.
Arore takes on that job, so the plan you agreed on is the plan that gets delivered.
Same plan, same quarter
Daily work fills every week either way. The difference is whether someone keeps the plan moving.
How it works

Arore stays with the work from the first honest look to the last milestone.

The bigger picture
Where the plan leads next
The strategy sets the direction for the rest of Arore's work with you. These are the three places it most often leads.
New markets
For some businesses, the plan points beyond the current client base, sector or market altogether.
