CONAC Role & Value:‍

Conac undertook a strategic review of thebusiness which resulted in a 2-day off site strategy review for seniorexecutives and board members. This review surfaced issues which stemmed from theirrapid growth, and the tacit understanding that they had landed in a verydifferent business.

As a result of this workshop, they completely reviewed their strategic plan to better align with the business they were now in and created a clear vision, strategy, and execution plan moving forward. This led to further incredible growth and an increase in their turnover of over £ 40 million in the next two years.

Over a strategic workshop weekend with the leaders of their seven divisions, as well as the main board, they were able to reduce their strategic plan to a 3-page document, and reduce the number of strategic objectives that they would monitor, measure and report on to their stakeholders to 3 critical areas.

They communicated their strategic plan and key objectives to the various stakeholders and members with a clear path to connect and increase active participation. As a direct result, their membership resumed growth.
