Governance
Having a skilled Board is vital for your organisation’s sustainability.
Whether you’re looking for Governance Training, Professional Coaching for Directors and Senior Executives or an Independent Director, make Stellaris your first call.
Strategy
Strategy is about getting to where you need to be BEFORE you need to be there.
In these times of uncertainty it feels hard to predict the future even though there is more data available than ever.
We help you untangle the mass of information, make it relevant for you and help you set clear, meaningful and effective plans that make sense for YOUR business.
Helping You Achieve Success
Is it time to update your Strategy?
Many businesses never consciously set out their strategy. And most of those who have will now be in a totally different world compared to just six months ago. In these uncertain times how can you predict the future?
That is what Stellaris can help you do!
We ask the important questions:
- What does your organisation stand for?
- Are you the same business as you were when you started?
- What changes are there in your operating environment (competitors, suppliers, customers)?
- What is really happening in the wider environment beyond the click bait news you might see in the media?
And then we help you find the important pieces of information, untangle the data and create a strategy that is right for you.
With our help you can develop a Clear, Meaningful, Effective Strategic Plan.
Clear away the confusing messages
Solid Strategic framework to guide decisions
Focused strategy
Effective Strategic Plan
GOVERNANCE TRAINING
We developed the ‘The Directors Chair‘ Course, a series of workshops designed to further your knowledge and skill set in all areas of governance.
Invest in your Board.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
A strategic plan looks at all the things your business could do and narrows it down to the things it must do to flourish.
Encourage big-picture thinking and guide your organisation to a better future.
