Strategic planning
A business plan needs a consistent framework with six key strategy areas. Sustainable competitive advantage (SCA), marketing, operations, innovation, human resource, and finance.
Business Leaders Group
Our business leaders’ group is a community of like-minded clients attending quarterly 4-hour workshops that focus on leadership and high-performance thinking created by Mindshop.
Further advisory support
We also offer solutions to address other challenges and opportunities including helping turnaround businesses.
At all times I have found Barry’s advice which has been drawn from many years of experience to be both very useful and motivational. Barry has also won the trust of my senior staff and they too are able to draw on Barry’s experiences.

Strategic Planning
“The way to start is to quit talking and begin doing.”
- Walt Disney
To achieve your goals, it’s essential to have a clear strategy as to get there. We facilitate a short, sharp practical session to identify key strategies, discuss your vision, develop strategies, and importantly guide implementation and prioritisation of actions. We recommend that this process be undertaken regularly (at a minimum annually) to ensure your plan is nimble and able to change direction to adapt to changing circumstances.
What’s involved?
We use a different approach. The practical, NOW WHERE HOW process adapted to client needs, leveraging Mindshop tools for learning and simplifying complexity. It identifies where you want to be in 2-3 years and how you are going to get there. The session will involve:
Discussion with senior stakeholders to understand where you are NOW
Gain clarity as to WHERE you are going
Determine your sustainable competitive advantage
Develop strategies with a SWOT analysis
Brainstorm further HOW strategies
Prioritise top strategies
Transform strategies into actions using a force field tool
Pull all the work together into a one page plan with next steps for each of the key actions.
Typical Duration:
Half day to one day workshop

Freight On Board International Services Pty Ltd has been utilising the services of Barry Jenner since May 2002.
Barry has acted mainly as facilitator on a regular basis in helping us develop and maintain our business plan as well as a business mentor for myself from time to time.
Barry has also attended three of our in-house staff conferences at Ballarat, Mt. Eliza and Geelong over the years where he has had direct contact with every staff member of Freight On Board. Barry’s role at the conferences was that of motivator which was a role that the staff clearly enjoyed.
At all times I have found Barry’s advice which has been drawn from many years of experience to be both very useful and motivational.
Barry has also won the trust of my senior staff and they too are able to draw on Barry’s experiences.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Barry’s services at any time.
