Consulting / business decisions

Before the plan,
the
right questions.

The next business cycle calls for a clear view of where you stand today. Together with your leadership team, we connect five questions to turn your business context into decisions and next steps.

See how this becomes a plan ↘
01Where do we stand today?Assessment and starting point

We analyze the results and information the company already has, including sales data, CRM data and current targets. Conversations with the leadership team help interpret the numbers, recognize limitations and build a shared understanding of where the business stands.

  • An assessment of the current situation based on available data.
  • Baseline metrics for tracking progress.
  • Questions and opportunities that should guide the planning process.

The assessment makes gaps in the data explicit. New customer or market research requires additional scope.

02What deserves priority?Strategic priorities

We work with the leadership team to understand where the company wants to go and which changes deserve priority. We connect each choice to the evidence found in the assessment and discuss what needs to happen to move it forward.

  • Objectives agreed with the leadership team.
  • Priorities grounded in the business context.
  • Initiatives that can support each priority.

In the 2027 Strategic Plan, this stage produces a set of 3 to 5 priorities.

03How do we measure progress?Metrics, targets and scenarios

We connect priorities to metrics and targets, taking data availability and quality into account. Scenarios help us discuss possibilities and assumptions before committing resources.

  • Metrics linked to the priorities.
  • Targets organized by period.
  • Assumptions and scenarios to support decisions.

In the 2027 Strategic Plan, targets are quarterly and revenue projections cover three scenarios. These are planning references, not guarantees of results.

04Who leads, and how do we review progress?Responsibilities and routines

A plan needs to fit into the company’s day-to-day work. Together with the leadership team, we define who is accountable, when reviews will take place and what information is needed to track progress on the priorities.

  • People accountable for the priorities within the client company.
  • A cadence and routines for progress reviews.
  • A dashboard outline and the information to review.

The project defines how progress will be monitored. Building the BI dashboard and reviewing implementation progress each month are contracted separately.

05What should we do first?Initiative roadmap

We organize initiatives by impact and effort to establish a sequence of work. The roadmap brings together what to do, when to prioritize it and how each initiative connects to the plan.

  • Initiatives prioritized and scheduled over time.
  • The plan document and a presentation for the leadership team.
  • An implementation proposal for the areas where Thunder can contribute.

Implementation of the initiatives is quoted separately, with its own responsibilities and deliverables.

These five elements make up the consulting engagement. The depth of the work and its deliverables are defined in the project scope.

Some questions
worth clarifying.

What is included in the 2027 Strategic Plan?

The project includes five sessions with the leadership team, a review of existing data, an assessment, 3 to 5 priorities, metrics and quarterly targets, three revenue scenarios, accountable owners, a progress review routine and a roadmap. At the end, you receive the plan document, a presentation and an implementation proposal. The scope covers one company.

Who needs to take part, and what data is required?

The work involves company owners or executives who understand the business and have decision-making authority. We use results from 2025 and 2026, the data available in the CRM and current targets. In the proposal and at the start of the project, we agree on who is responsible, the schedule and the information required.

How does the five-week timeline work?

The five weeks run from the start of the project, with one session per week. Each stage depends on information being shared and the leadership team taking part. The schedule, start date and delivery terms are agreed before the engagement is contracted.

Are implementation and ongoing monitoring included?

The planning work defines the initiatives, accountable owners and review routine. Implementing the initiatives, building the BI dashboard, configuring the CRM and reviewing implementation progress each month in 2027 are contracted separately. You receive a proposal for the areas where Thunder can contribute.

Is this a financial plan or a document for raising investment?

The focus is a strategic plan to guide the company’s decisions and activities in 2027. It uses targets and revenue scenarios, but does not include a comprehensive financial and accounting plan, a profit and loss statement, a cash flow statement or documentation specifically prepared for banks and investors.

How does the consulting service differ from Radar, and how can I get started?

The consulting service explores the context in more depth through existing data, conversations with the leadership team and agreed deliverables.
