Annual Strategy Refresh
A lighter annual revisit for teams who already completed a full planning engagement and need to update priorities without starting from blank paper.
Aoraki Strategy Advisory
Plans your leadership team can actually run
We help New Zealand small and medium-sized businesses set direction, choose trade-offs, and leave with a written strategy they can use in the next quarter — not a binder that gathers dust.
Strategic planning built for SME realities
Most owners already know their market. What they need is a clear sequence: where to compete, what to stop doing, and how the next twelve months will be measured.
Who we sit with
Founders, managing directors, and senior teams in manufacturing, professional services, hospitality groups, trades, and regional retail — typically 8 to 120 people — who need a sharper plan before hiring, expanding, or succession talks.
Advisory work you can commission
Every engagement ends with decisions recorded and owners named — not a slide deck of possibilities.
Leadership Alignment Workshop
A facilitated day for co-owners or senior teams who agree on the goal but disagree on priorities, capacity, or risk appetite.
Strategic Planning Engagement
A multi-week advisory engagement that turns leadership debate into a written twelve-month strategy with owners, measures, and resource choices.
Strategy Diagnostic
A short assessment of your current plan — where it is clear, where leadership is split, and what to settle before the next planning cycle.
What clients notice first
Evidence from recent planning work — specific, imperfect, and useful.
“We had three growth ideas competing for the same cash. Aoraki forced us to pick one market for the year and write the capacity plan around it. The first month felt slower, but we stopped wasting sales meetings.”
A natural next step
If you are preparing an annual plan, considering a second site, or aligning co-owners before a capital decision, start with a short scoping call. We will tell you quickly whether a full engagement fits — or whether a diagnostic is enough.
