Business Planning Services
Business plans are crucial for company growth. They provide the means for the management team and key personnel to gain a single understanding and ownership of the way forward. They provide a measureable means to monitor progress so the company knows where it stands and what remains to be undertaken.
Our business planning process ensures your strategic plans are converted into near term tactical actions that will deliver your growth objectives.
We provide focused onsite support to develop detailed business plans:
- Business Plan content definition – while templates exist, each company requires a different focus on content
- Value Proposition – define to your customers how you will deliver value to them
- Timeline actions – make sure the actions are measureable and responsible parties can be held accountable to deliver

Testimonials
...substantial improvement in product delivery and resultant reductions of inventory. The catalyst for these new processes was the Strategic Planning workshop lead by John de Wardt.
John de Wardt provided us with a straight forward, hard driving, no nonsense approach to strategic planning that is still helping us define and achieve new business goals.
We have seen significant improvements in results and have adopted the principles in our planning and operations efforts.
His recent corporate strategy development work resulted in a set of strategic initiatives that are already beginning to deliver value only a few months into their implementation.
John’s emphasis on rigorous planning has resulted in tangible and measurable results in the area of drilling and completing wells. A true step-change.
His insight into the oil and gas industry is invaluable, and his knowledge of best practice in manufacturing has added measurable value to several of our investments.
Case Studies
Mad Dog GOM Well sets the bench mark.
BP Mad Dog's first Deep Water Development well (4,600 ft water depth) in its pre - SPAR drilling phase achieved a planned TD of 21,330' using Diamond's Ocean Confidence 5th generation semi submersible rig in 21 days per 10,000 ft. The team exceeded the best of best performance in all well segments, except one, in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. This S shaped well drilled through a thick salt section to faulting and a pressure regression below. BP utilized DE WARDT AND COMPANY to take them through the key process steps to achieve the organization alignment, focus on performance, plan enhancement and other attributes they were looking for.
"ELITE" - A success for GF Satellites.
The Lean Drilling program was applied to a 4400 meters development well with an 1100 meters horizontal section, which was planned to include an intelligent completion, in the Norwegian sector of the N Sea. The well was drilled in 25.4 days with an overall drilling performance of 171 meters / day compared to a historic average of 80 meters / day, using a type 2 semi-submersible unit in some 350 meters of water (left plot). The completion activity was performed in 12.9 days compared to a historic completion time of 24 days (right plot). Statoil stated in their magazine "Well Informed" that the result was even better than the Technical Limit Curve for this well. This result realized capital cost savings of US$ 7.5 million and additional value from earlier production of oil.
