Engagement Process - Four (4) Key Steps

&

tomic&company provides a simple four step process which serves to assess the client needs and to determine the collaboration model which will ensure achievement of the business objectives.

Strategic Assessment

Engagement Model

Step 1: Strategic Assessment

The core aim of this first session (strategic assessment) is to assess the needs of the organisation and to determine how tomic&company will be able to assist the potential client to achieve their desired objectives. This meeting will be structured with a typical duration of 90 minutes. It may be held virtually.

This session is complementary. Attendees should be the business owner(s), the Chief Executive Officer and/or senior business development executives.

Client preparation will be required, which will provide feedback on the following topics:

A short situational analysis of the business. Overall performance, limitations, successes etc
Portfolio overview - a summary of the portfolio. What are the portfolio objectives?
In which segments and channels is the company participating?
What is the international scope of the company?
What business objectives does the client wish to achieve?
What is the current organisational structure?

Post meeting: tomic&company will propose an engagement model and the client will decide whether they wish to proceed to engage Tomic & Company and if so, which model they believe will be most effective given the clients objectives.

Step 3: Strategy, Alignment & Operational Planning

Insights & Research phase – understand the broader market context, industry players, competitive position, profitability, and other core industry trends and insights
Strategic and Operational planning – within the defined scope, undertake a strategic assessment. The purpose of this stage is to workshop and define the strategic direction, portfolio strategy, go-to-market strategy and to develop / validate a workable value chain.
Preparation of detailed Execution Plan

Typically, the turnaround time for this phase is maximum 4 weeks. A detailed go-to-market strategy document will be discussed, prepared, and presented in close collaboration with the client.

The level of detail and the overall nature of the plans will be determined by the choice of engagement model (e.g., if the collaboration will be shorter or longer term).
