In today’s highly competitive environment, it is important to ensure that your business is correctly positioned and run as efficiently as possible.
TPA is focused on helping companies effectively plan for the future and identify, evaluate, and develop new business opportunities.
We can work on either a project or retained basis and even act, where appropriate, as a ‘super-numeri’ board member in order to offer an added resource to the senior management team.

We also develop business plans to help source private and institutional funding.
TPA can assist your business in many key areas;

Copywriting

Vision Creation
The TPA Vision Creation program is designed to create a vision of future business success, that all staff can ‘buy into’. This vision can then be broken down into its constituent parts for effective implementation with the result being ‘Gestalt’, i.e. the overall value to the business becoming more than the sum of its parts.
Competitive Analysis and Benchmarking
Making an objective analysis of your market positioning against not just your competitors but also best in class can give you that competitive edge
