Building Alignment for Growth in Electrical Manufacturing

Who We Worked With

A well-established electrical manufacturing and supply company with more than 25 years in business. Following a partial buyout by an investment firm, the company’s leadership team was navigating a new board structure and preparing to scale further in Australian and international markets. 

The Challenge

With a new board in place and ambitious growth opportunities on the horizon, the business faced a critical moment: align on a clear strategy or risk diluting their momentum through competing priorities and lack of direction.

The board and leadership team had plenty of options and were looking to each other for direction. Without agreement, they risked:

• Missed opportunities to optimise growth
• Confusion over priorities
• Tension across the leadership group

Our Approach

We designed and facilitated a strategy development process that created the conditions for robust discussion, leading to shared focus and agreement. 

Our work included:

• 1:1 interviews to surface perspectives early and shape the agenda around what mattered most
• A pre-workshop questionnaire to capture thinking in advance
• A facilitated session that kept attention on the right conversations and drove outcomes
• Scenario planning to test strategies and identify “no-regret moves” effective across multiple futures
• A comprehensive report outlining all the key decisions, outputs and outcomes

Our process drew out the hard questions and opened space for bold conversations, bringing the team into alignment and creating momentum to move the plan forward. In doing so, we uncovered a level of agreement beneath the surface that the team hadn’t realised was already there.

The Outcome

Tangible results:

• A clear strategic plan and roadmap with critical decision points
• Defined priorities and a project plan ready to implement
• Risk assessment and mitigations
• Stakeholder communication plan 

Intangible results:

• Improved board dynamics with greater clarity on their role
• Increased confidence in decision-making
• Renewed momentum 

The leadership team left with refreshed energy and a united commitment to the path ahead.

Reflection

As one participant reflected: 

“Our strategy development workshop led by Reimagine Consulting was an incredibly valuable experience for our business. Jill & Simone were engaging, insightful and highly organised, ensuring that every participant contributed to the discussions. 

The workshop was tailored to our specific needs, providing us with actionable strategies that are already making a difference. We walked away with a clear, focused plan for the future, and I would highly recommend Reimagine Consulting to any organisation looking to refine their strategic direction.” 

This case study reflects what Reimagine Consulting is about: helping leaders step back, see more clearly and move forward with confidence. It shows that success is not only about ambitious growth, but about the focus, cohesion and momentum needed to make it happen.
