Area of support — Business Strategy

Map out your vision for your business

Work with business strategy experts

A variety of trusted professionals are ready to support you through the essential steps to develop a business strategy, including: 

  • Assessing mission, vision, and aspirations 
  • Creating or reviewing your business’s core values; strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) 
  • Fine-tuning your objectives, strategies, and operations 
  • Develop or update your business plan, and more. 

Elevate Hennepin advisors offer strategic guidance for your business to get to the next step. While they may support some implementation activities, business owners are responsible for ongoing maintenance and day-to-day operations. Businesses should be prepared to engage their own resources for complex projects that are anticipated to take more than 25 hours. 

Contact an advisor below to help you identify and plan for your strategic next step or visit our resource directory to find more strategic planning options or resources across all our support categories.
