The demands of day-to-day problems preoccupy managers, who leave too little time for thinking about the future growth and profitability of the business. So routine drives out planning and the urgent takes priority over the important.

In addition, advances in information and communication technology and increasing competition have added more responsibilities on corporate management to save time and cost, raise the quality standards and improve performance and productivity.

Strategic planning and management development have been the answer to face these challenges.

Alpha Consulting help address your most critical strategic challenges. We work in partnership with you to identify and seize the most attractive opportunities for accelerated growth and strengthened profitability.

We cover the full range of general management disciplines: strategy, organization, planning, Training, marketing and operations.

Strategic Planning
Alpha Consulting looks at a new strategic planning concept that is a continuous process that involves people at all levels throughout an organisation.

There are several benefits to involving employees in strategic planning, such as the development of high-quality plans that reflect the capability of the business and the market overall.

Another change in strategic planning is to allow broader input during the planning and implementation of strategies. As more people in organisations become involved in strategy making, the need for training programs to help employees develop strategic skills will increase.

We design the entire planning process - from participant interviews through outcome - and prepare and facilitate planning sessions for a wide range of business objectives, both short- and long-range.

Each of our planning approaches is customised to meet the specific needs of the client. We combine the best methods for eliciting participant interaction while discussing and resolving the strategic issues the organisation may face.

Our consultants specialise in a structured analysis approach to all projects. This ensures that the final report and recommendations are presented in a thorough, logical and organized manner . We also facilitate the writing of planning documents.

Organisational Development
Our organisational development work frequently involves the preparation of efficiency or effectiveness studies. In these situations, we do not consider our job to be done when we present the report.

Along with our recommendations we provide ongoing consultation during the implementation phase, monitor task accomplishment, and act as a sounding board for owners, managers, or other key personnel.

Executive Services
Alpha Consulting makes all of its resources available for one-on-one professional development work. We adapt our approach to the amount of time available, the personal style of our client, and the specific challenges he or she is facing.

Training
Alpha Consulting works together with, or in lieu of, internal training departments to determine training needs and provide training services for employees at all levels - senior executives, project leaders, managers, and staff personnel.

We generally begin by assessing current skill levels and determining what the participants want to get out of the training program. Then we tailor our work to those specific considerations as well as to the corporate culture and individual personalities involved. We prepare and give pre-session reading materials, conduct brainstorming or role-playing sessions, or lead group discussions, as the situation warrants.

In every instance, we make the training process interactive so that learning is rewarding and enjoyable for everyone.
