Business Strategy & Transformation

Transforming industries, volatile markets and changing demographics are making it ever more difficult for business to thrive. In many cases, customer needs are reshaping businesses’ operating models. Without the right support, the journey from surviving to thriving can remain elusive for some.

How BDO can help

BDO’s professionals draw upon deep industry knowledge and experience to help you improve performance in three key areas: sustainable market growth, improved margin contribution and strategic risk management.

We understand how to discover and create value within organisations, and maximise that value to get the best results. Our approach is to evaluate businesses and business challenges holistically, to create tailored long-term solutions.

Our goal is to help you drive profitable and sustainable growth, and achieve your performance objectives, long after we’re gone.

Learn how we can add value to your strategic planning process.

Strategic planning

Have you ever questioned the value and outcomes of your strategic planning process? Our consultants have developed a market tested and proven methodology that takes the guesswork out of strategy, ensuring there is a clear and well understood direction for the future of the organisation.

BDO can also help businesses looking to develop a new strategy or business model.

Business model development

You might have a vision for where you want to be in the future only to find that your current structure doesn’t support that pathway. There’s no need to be constrained by your current model. With the right support, you can explore many options to enable and drive your organisation’s growth.

Our business strategy advisers also help with cost structures.

Business turnaround

When a business isn’t performing to its potential, it is critical to work out where improvements can be made before settling on a plan to turn performance - and confidence - around.

BDO works with clients to identify and execute strategies for improved performance and success. We help organisations that are underperforming or seeking profit improvement. We can also help businesses in transition or in the midst of a significant acquisition.

Whatever your situation, we provide critical integration services in rapid response to your financial performance needs. Our professionals take an active, hands-on role, instilling confidence in your investors, lenders and other stakeholders.
