What To Expect from Plumtree Training

We have been providing training to business leaders for several years.

The two key programmes we offer are:

• Vision, Strategy & Plan
• Merger & Acquisition

Both crucial areas for growing businesses.

What does a typical training session look like and what should you expect from one of our sessions?

Vision, Strategy & Plan 

A company today has far more stakeholders to consider than ever before – shareholders / employees / customers / suppliers / society. To maximise engagement across these parties, each with their own priorities, the need to establish a consistent narrative is imperative. Having a golden thread that runs coherently through your Vision, Strategies, and Plans; allowing you to inform and inspire, is undoubtedly one of the most powerful documents a company can produce.

Merger & Acquisition 

Many organisations use M&A as part of a broader growth story, but why do some have a limited success and others fly? M&A is a powerful and expensive strategy, needing a clear definition of success and a deep understanding of the implications. Organisations sucessfully using M&A are tackling defined problems or looking to acclerate specific areas of growth, they have prepared the core organisation, and their structure is capable of handling the high level of change that follows.
