Business Strategy
Famously Benjamin Franklin stated that “By Failing to Prepare, You are Preparing to Fail”.
Wise words which accurately represent the reason every business needs a business strategy that clearly documents step by step how exactly it plans to achieve success. A business strategy can be as complex or as simple as you like, but it does need to align with your vision and values.
Carmody Consultancy works with businesses in advising, devising, and implementing business strategies to achieve goals and ultimately grow their business through applying the following steps:
- Identify - Goals and priorities – short, medium, and longer term.
- Analyze - Compile and understand all available internal and external insights.

Testimonials
“We worked with Grainne over a number of months and found her genuinely interested in our business and what we were trying to achieve. Grainne is a straight talker who does not simply sit in on a meeting, type up a list of work for you to do and reappear at the next meeting asking if it is done. She actually does a lot of the heavy lifting herself, opens the doors, creates the connections, and follows through with anything she says she will. We would be delighted to recommend working with Grainne and hope to do so again ourselves in the future.”
