Is Complexity killing Your Profits?


“Apex’s Strategic Focusing Workshop”

Are your business teams focused on the strategic priorities of your organisation?


Is your management team on the same page, focused on achieving a set of aligned targets and goals?


Does your organisation have a clear, concise strategic action plan that is easily communicated to key stakeholders?


Is a lack of focus (or trying to do too much) costing you profits?

  • Better understand your current business situation;
  • Develop simple, effective goals and targets to design your future position; and

 The process will motivate your team to:

  • Think 80 / 20 to always look for the most from the least
  • Take initiative to solve problems consistently and simply
  • Understand the real current state of your organisation
  • Develop practical strategic goals that build on your attractive business
  • Remove unnecessary, costly complexity
  • Focus on your core competencies
  • Understand and create the processes to deliver true customer value
  • Create simple, meaningful business targets that align with your strategic goals
  • Develop a focused one-page strategy and action plan
