Business Plan —
Secure organizational commitment and strategic buy-in towards your vision and greater value
BUSINESS PLAN
Aligning with your key stakeholders is a critical step in bringing and communicating business value through marketing. Our core tool is the Mavenfirst Marketing Business Plan™ that will give you a clear direction, not only for you as an executive but also for your entire team, guiding them towards the shared vision.
This engagement ensures your team is guided towards a shared vision, shifting from leading based on actions or outputs to establishing clear accountabilities, expectations, and clarity.
Mavenfirst Marketing Business Plan™ supports you in achieving alignment with your stakeholders
Foundation for even greater value creation
The Marketing Business Plan serves as the foundation for creating a world-class marketing department. It clarifies the vision of how marketing brings even greater value to the organization and has a clear, strategic role.
A clear path: It paves the way for a clear vision, outlining what needs to be accomplished and setting achievable priorities.
The communication tool: It is the crucial first step in communicating business value and demonstrating exactly how tactical actions tie into big business numbers such as pricing power, competitiveness, and brand equity.
What can you expect?
Having business stakeholder alignment typically takes around four to six weeks, depending on your situation. It consists of 5–8 working sessions and some homework to do between the sessions.
Our approach is to work with you on a week-to-week basis and proceed step-by-step. We will help you think strategically, ask a bunch of questions, and ask you to consider your views from multiple angles. This way, the end result will be outstanding and written by your hand.

We will cover these elements during our working sessions
We will have about five working sessions with you and, depending on your marketing structure, with key team members. Based on the findings from the materials and the kick-off meeting, we tailor agendas and themes together.
Between sessions, there will be some homework for you to complete. Also, be prepared for some tough questions that you may only think about sometimes.
Typically, the sessions are these:
-
5-year vision for marketing function
-
Marketing Business Impact
-
A concrete picture of how you want the marketing function to look like
-
Strategic focus areas and priorities to support achieving them
-
Milestones and development targets
-
Roles, responsibilities, and resources
-
Stakeholder mapping
-
Perceived role for marketing by stakeholder
-
A desired role for marketing
-
