Strategy and business planning

Our strategy and business planning services are designed to help organisations to prepare business plans that focus on improving business performance.

Our services are designed for organisations across the broad spectrum of Irish businesses from listed and private companies to public bodies and not-for-profit entities.

Our role can be tailored to suit our clients’ needs, ranging from providing relevant sector knowledge; assessing market and economic trends; identifying market developments and advising on leading edge operation practices.

Through the Grant Thornton international network we can help our clients to learn from the experiences of similar companies internationally and advise you on best practice.

Our preferred role is to act as facilitators and providers of specialist knowledge and sectoral experience. In this way the directors and management are supported in the development of ambitious, yet realistic strategies and business plans, which they own and are committed to.

Our strategy services are provided to both individual firms and industry sectors.

Case study
Grant Thornton assisted the Irish Concrete Federation, the representative body for the concrete and quarry products sector, to develop an industry strategy. The study reviewed a wide range of issues and concerns for the sector and advised on how these should be addressed.
