Suits & Sneakers presents: "Understanding Strategy in One Hour" with Allon Raiz

Join Allon Raiz and Mark Sham for an exclusive entrepreneurship chat at The Tryst exploring one of the biggest challenges in business: strategy that actually works. Only around 9% of large companies successfully achieve their strategic intent. For SMEs, that figure drops to approximately 1.2%. Why do so many strategies fail? And what does it take to build one that actually delivers?

Join the conversation as Allon unpacks the thinking, choices and actions behind effective business strategy.

Allon knows a thing or two about entrepreneurship and scaling small businesses. According to The Economist, Raizcorp is the only genuine business incubator in Africa and they currently have 500 businesses being supported in their high-touch Prosperator programmes.

Who should attend?

Entrepreneurs and business owners who are experiencing any of these situations:

• I’m battling to break through to the next level of scale.
• I’m dealing with unaligned staff who don’t understand my vision.
• I’m suffering from high staff turnover.
• I’m experiencing constant client issues.
• My team is constantly focusing on the wrong priorities.
• I feel like I’m constantly putting out fires.

Why should you attend? 

Most entrepreneurs with small- to medium-sized businesses battle with: 

• The concept of strategy
• Developing the right strategy
• Managing the execution of the strategy.

Problems you need to address: 

• Poor strategic decision-making by senior teams.
• Staff misalignment to the business vision.
• Difficulty by the business to execute on strategy.
• High staff turnover.
• Loss of continuity when a staff member leaves.
• Constant client issues, losses and complaints.
• Management focusing on the wrong priorities.
• Management not following a clear, documented strategy.
• Team accountability.

You are not alone! Research shows only 30% of companies can develop a strategy and a tiny fraction of them can actually achieve their strategy. During the chat, Allon Raiz will take you through a framework to not only understand strategy but, more importantly, how to make sure your business can execute it.
