Collins Hume's Senior Business Advisor and Business Valuation Specialist, Nathan McGrath, recently joined a panel of business experts for Business Lismore's October Business Before Hours event, exploring the importance of strategy in building sustainable, successful businesses.
With more than 30 years' experience helping businesses improve performance and build long-term value, Nathan brought his practical business advisory expertise to the discussion.
Turning business strategy into action
The panel explored how business owners can develop, implement and adapt strategies to support sustainable growth.
Key discussion points included:
Strategic clarity: Having a clear vision and maintaining direction as your business evolves.
Understanding customers: Knowing your target market and aligning your business operations with customer expectations.
Sustainable growth: Developing reliable systems and identifying opportunities to grow without overwhelming daily operations.
Long-term value: Looking beyond immediate results to build a stronger, more resilient and valuable business.
Measuring progress: Reviewing results and adjusting strategies to keep your business moving in the right direction.
Nathan was joined by Anthea Stevanovic from Intelligent Directions, Carol Liang from Adacy and Mike Ewing from Southern Cross University.
"It was great to be a part of the panel and bring some linkages between strategy, performance, clarity and confidence to make strategic decision that improve business value," said Nathan.
The morning also included an interactive Q&A session, giving local business owners an opportunity to discuss the practical challenges of developing and implementing business strategies.
Thank you to Business Lismore for bringing together local business leaders and creating an opportunity to share knowledge and ideas.
