Make Fast, Effective Decisions With One of Our Workshops

We help your leadership teams make strategic decisions … fast.

Kickstart Your Transformation With One of Our Workshops

Establishing Business Priorities

This workshop is for managers that are either paralysed with indecision in the face of multiple, urgent challenges or exhausted from constantly fighting fires on multiple fronts and yielding little to no positive and sustainable results. It is designed to help managers prioritise their efforts by systematically diagnosing the performance and needs of each area of the business and determining which challenge(s), if left unaddressed, will lead to the ultimate demise of the organisation. At the end of the workshop, participating companies will know which of the many challenges they face require their urgent attention and an outline of the next steps towards resolving those challenges.

Strategic Visioning & Goal Setting

In this workshop, Antilles Economics will work with the senior leadership of organisations to understand the current and expected future states of their markets and their organisation’s core competencies with the aim of developing a vision for the organisation’s future and the accompanying key milestones. During this workshop, participants will work towards developing the outline of a long-term strategy as well as an accompanying short-term execution plan.

Mapping Products & Services

When developing product and service strategy maps, organisations need to consider three broad areas to ensure alignment with their corporate strategy: (1) why they are offering the product/service; (2) the strategy behind developing the product/service; and, (3) the approach to offering the product/service to the market. By guiding participants through these three areas, this workshop will help the organisation ensure that their products and services are aligned to their corporate strategy and leads to mutually reinforcing decisions within the other areas of the business.

HR Strategy Alignment

The single most important function of HR is to manage the people related risk in the organization in order to protect the viability of the organization’s strategy. This workshop is focused on translating the strategy into its most critical people related components to ensure that the organization is focused and set up to create value and has the capabilities and internal capacity to do so now and in the foreseeable future.

Succession Planning

Succession Planning is one of the most central risk management strategies within the HR function. Yet, for many organizations it represents one of the least explored and executed elements of strategy. Good strategies consider future scenarios, great strategies plan for it. This session works through the process of identifying the most critical roles in the organization, evaluates the impact if vacated and puts a clear strategy in place to mitigate strategic erosion and financial loss. This workshop utilizes a myriad of tools and strategies to assist your leadership team in developing a detailed succession plan.

Culture & Employee Experience

Customer Journey Maps have been around for some time lending to customer experience and marketing professionals’ better understanding of, empathy with and satisfaction of their customer expectations. In contrast, the deliberate construction of the employee experience has been far less popular. This workshop applies the journey mapping design approach to the Employee Experience and builds upon the findings to assist organizations in creating workplaces that care so that employees feel equally invested in providing amazing service and presenting their most innovative ideas while being present and productive.

Brand, Marketing and Sales Strategy

In this workshop guides participants through the development of a brand, sales and marketing funnel based on the corporate strategy. Specifically, participants will develop the goals for the brand, marketing activities and sales activities, the strategy to achieve each of these goals and the tactics to be utilised in the short-term to execute the strategy. It assumes that the participants have already developed a brand guide that would anchor the discussion.

Drop us a line

We at the BHL Group have been working with the team at Antilles Economics for a number of years and have come to rely on their insights into the markets we operate in to help us make critical decisions in relation to our brands, products, people and strategy. So, when we needed a facilitator to guide us through the development of the strategy that will anchor our decisions for the foreseeable future, working with AE was a no-brainer. What I personally appreciate is their very practical, client-oriented approach. They understand the challenges of our operating environment and provide solutions that make sense.

How It Works

Step 1

Is This Right For You?

Complete the registration form to signal your interest. We’ll reach out to confirm a convenient time for a discovery call to ensure that this session is best suited to your needs to extract the greatest possible value. If not, we’ll share what might be an even better approach to get you to your goals.

Step 2

The Preparation

We’ll send over the agreement, invoice and payment terms, and your session pre-work. This gives your team an opportunity to discuss, compile and familiarize themselves with the insights that will inform the sessions. Remember with us, everything starts with strategy so that’s one we can confirm you’ll be reflecting on.

Step 3

The Discovery Call

Once we’ve reviewed the preparatory work we’ll schedule a short 30-60 minute chat with selected key decision makers to highlight early observations and potential gaps in the information and set the scene for the workshop by agreeing on the session details and finalising the agenda.

Step 4

The Workshop

The sessions are split across 2 days via Zoom or in person, once all relevant Covid protocols can be safely enforced. In both delivery formats, these are working sessions and all parties will be heavily involved in crafting the outputs from the session to ensure its tailor made for your organisation and direction.

Step 5

Your Takeaways

Post-workshop, we’ll have a debriefing call and provide you with a report of the key insights and the details necessary to map your next steps. Other specific takeaways will depend on the specific workshop you choose.
