Strategic Audit
Pressure test your current strategy
An unbiased and in-depth review of your shop’s strategy. Strategic audits identify risks and ensure your strategy matches your goals. We then perform a thorough evaluation to ensure your strategy is implementable with your current resources.
The audit answers questions like:
- How sound is our current strategy?
- Are our goals realistic?
- Do the company’s goals align with the owner’s goals?
- Where is the risk in our strategy?
- Do we have or can we acquire the resources needed to implement our strategy?
