GROWTH STRATEGY CONSULTING
Don’t leave growth
to chance.
A strategic plan tells you what to do. A growth strategy determines where to go. VENN’s growth strategy consulting and strategic planning services help middle-market organizations identify, evaluate and activate the most achievable path to sustainable growth — bringing together market opportunity, financial viability, organizational capabilities and brand relevance.
THE PROBLEM
Where is your greatest opportunity for growth?
Growth creates choices. The challenge is knowing which ones are worth pursuing.
As growth strategy consultants, VENN helps leadership teams answer the questions that matter most:
.01
Which customers, markets or offerings hold the greatest potential?
.02
Where can we create a meaningful competitive advantage?
.03
Which opportunities are financially viable?
.04
What capabilities will we need?
.05
Does our brand support where the business is going?
%
Of strategic plans fail.* Not because the thinking is bad — because most strategic planning never assesses the single factor that drives long-term success: discovery of the most opportunistic growth path.
*RSM Research, 2023
Markets evolve faster than strategy.
Too many directions pursued simultaneously.
Internal capabilities are misaligned with external market needs.
Growth strategy often isn’t even part of the process.
Why VENN?
Growth strategy made for the middle.
Middle-market organizations need more than a strategic plan. They need a clear point of view on where growth should come from — and what it will take to get there.
Our business growth consultants bring together management consulting, financial analysis, brand strategy and creative thinking in one senior-level collective — for companies and nonprofits alike.
You get the depth of a larger strategic planning consultancy with a more collaborative, focused and flexible approach.
Delivering outsized impact to culturally relevant brands.
