Strategic & Operational Planning for Growth

You have successfully navigated the launch of your business and now turn your attention to growth. Where will you find it and – just as important – where won’t you? You now have many opportunities in front of you but a finite set of resources to deploy in pursuit of them.

Expand Your Horizons

All organizations in growth-mode must answer a number of questions  simultaneously:

  • How will we grow?
  • Can we manage change?
  • Do we have the expertise?

Opus Consulting guides you through this ever-shifting landscape by identifying the best strategic opportunities, implementing operational management best practices with your team, and plugging gaps with interim / fractional CFOs, CSOs, COOs, and CEOs.

How will we grow?

Strategic Expansion

Your #1 job post-launch is growth while your #1 challenge is where and how. Rather than boiling the ocean, let Opus Consulting support your strategic planning process so that you can identify, prioritize and target the most promising markets and customers. Uncover, assess, and pursue opportunities for both organic and inorganic growth and strike the appropriate balance between them.

SWOT Analysis

A thorough and unbiased assessment of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats will suggest which paths you should pursue, highlight initial competitive advantages, and point out any defenses that need shoring up.

Scenario Building

As an objective 3rd-party, Opus will stress-test your fundamental assumptions by investigating a series of “What if?” scenarios to evaluate the likely outcomes of certain decisions you might take. These detailed simulations will expose both exciting opportunities as well as any gaps in your thinking.

Go-to-Market Strategies

Tap into Opus’ deep operational management and strategic planning expertise to design effective Go-to-Market strategies that marry internal capabilities to key external requirements. Let Opus improve your chances of success while minimizing wasted time, money and effort.

Due Diligence

Opus Consulting employs due diligence best practices to review financial statements, analyze customer contracts, assess supply chain health, value any intellectual property assets and conduct industry benchmarking. We identify risks, opportunities and any synergies that may stem from a potential acquisition.

M&A Advisory

Each of these steps is fraught with challenges and Opus can steer you confidently through them. From advising on deal structure and negotiating terms to navigating regulatory complexities and minimizing risk, our consultants provide financial acumen, analytical capabilities, and hard-earned wisdom. Post deal, we work to ensure a smooth transition to a better normal going forward.

Expert Guides for Your Business Journey

With decades of on-the-ground business consulting experience, specifically in Strategy, Finance and Operations, Opus consultants assess your needs, plan the optimal route and then actively guide you and your organization past pitfalls to your goals

Can we manage change?

Organizational Change & Development

Growing firms are constantly balanced on a knife’s edge, attempting to build tomorrow’s company with yesterday’s resources. You feel the constant pressure of not having quite enough time, talent, experience or capital to reach your goals at your preferred velocity.

More than just givers of advice, our consultants roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty with you. Tap into our deep experience affecting and managing change across organizations to smooth out the bumps along your path to growth.

Change Management

Your growth trajectory, however, dictates that a fair amount of change is in the wind. Opus will work with your team to set roadmaps, manage expectations, and communicate clearly why agility and adaptability will lead to successful outcomes.

Executive Coaching

They also pursue continuous learning to expand their knowledge base and skillset, increasing their value to the organization. Upskill yourself and your executive team by tapping into Opus’ boots-on-the-ground wisdom and hard-earned best practices in one-on-one or small group settings.

Board Support & Facilitation

Tap into our team of experienced C-Suite executives to lead strategic planning sessions, review business operations and provide analysis to answer Board queries. Opus can also summarize and streamline communications with your Board, saving everyone a great deal of time and effort.

Strategic Planning

Across just about every vector: technological, economic, political, environmental, legal and sociological, necessitating an almost continuous adjusting of your strategic plans. Let Opus assess and analyze your situation, craft realistic and actionable tactical roadmaps, and establish meaningful metrics to track progress towards your goals. 

Do we have the expertise?

Fractional & Interim Leadership

Timing matters, and for many companies, their growth rate far outstrips their ability to hire the right people at the right time. Partner with Opus to close these short- or long-term skills gaps in critical C-Suite roles. 

By filling leadership roles on a fractional basis, Opus provides flexible, experienced and cost-efficient leadership to fill the void. We excel in fast-moving environments and our clients trust us to roll up our sleeves and begin delivering tangible operational value on Day 1.

Strategic Marketing – Fractional CMO

Let Opus step in on a part-time basis with a fractional CMO to set strategies, execute in the field, manage budgets, partners and technologies, and provide critical reporting to ensure alignment with your growth goals.

Fractional CFO

Rely on Opus to provide a fractional CFO (on a part-time basis) who can implement and track critical KPIs, deliver crucial analysis, planning and advice, and manage investor relations – all without committing to the cost of a permanent senior-level hire.

Fractional Controller

Someday you might need one onboard full-time but until then, utilize Opus’ hands-on expertise for this role. We will ensure your books are closed accurately and on time, identify critical operational KPIs, and provide monthly financial reporting so you know where your business stands at all times.
