TAKING YOUR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Alternatively, if you are already in business, we can provide you with a secondary opinion on how you may be able to improve, streamline, or grow your business, we are here to help. 

MSA has undertaken numerous advisory sessions over the past two decades. This has allowed us to streamline our advisory services, and ensure that the time we spend together is fruitful. In our advisory sessions, we will go over:

1. Context: In the first stage of any advisory relationship, it is crucial to understand the context of the meeting. That is, both parties need to understand:
   • Why we are meeting.
   • What the purpose of the meeting is, and
   • What we want to achieve
      
2. Explore: In the second stage, we will explore what opportunities and threats your business may face, or what has changed from our previous meeting. The purpose of this stage is to discover new information.
    
3. Comprehend: In this third stage, we will dive down, comprehend, discuss and debate what impact this new information may have on your business. Developing an understanding of this information is crucial and will lead us to to final stage.
    
4. React: Advisory sessions will ultimately result in formulating a plan on how your business can respond to the risks we have found, or capitalise on the gap we have unearthed. We will help you come up with a plan of action that will allow you to react accordingly to the new environments we find ourselves in.
