Strategy Sprint™ · strategy session for founders

One day. Then you know what you say yes to, and what you say no to.

A one-day strategy session. Your whole business on the table. By the end of the day, a roadmap that fits what matters to you.

Sound familiar?

What it is

A full strategy reset. In one day.

The Strategy Sprint™ is a one-day strategy session. What normally takes months, you now do in one day. A fixed method, a tight schedule and someone beside you asking the right questions. This is what you walk away with.

01

Overview

Everything in your head is on the table. Sorted, and no longer all equally important.

02

Vision

Where you stand in five years, and the one number that shows you are heading that way.

03

Focus

What you do this quarter. And above all, what you leave alone.

How the day runs

Seven steps. Pressure‑cooker style.

The pace keeps you out of analysis and in decision. I keep time and structure, you only think about the content.

What you take home

A plan that carries you a long way.

  • 01
    A revised foundation

    What you stand for, for whom, and why you.

  • 02
    Your top 10

    The ten things that really count over the next twelve months.

  • 03
    A roadmap

    This quarter, this year, and the five years after.

  • 04
    Your report

    In your inbox within a week. In your own words.

You won’t solve everything in one day. But once the roadmap is in place, a lot falls away by itself.

Who it’s for

For founders with a business that works. And an appetite for what’s next.

For you if

  • your business is running and you’re ready for the next step
  • you lead alone or with a business partner, from solo to 100 employees
  • you want to make the choices yourself, with someone beside you asking the right questions
Laura van der Velden holds up a post-it with the question: what if it becomes a success?

You get the most out of it if

  • there are already customers and revenue to give direction
  • you’re open to the question you skipped yourself
  • all owners are at the table
Laura van der Velden laughs and listens during a strategy session

Your facilitator

I read numbers. And I read people.

I’m Laura van der Velden. I’m not at the table to tell you what to do. I keep the pace and ask the question you skipped. The insights come from you. That’s why they stick.

I run my own business and I have three children. I know strategy never happens in an empty head. That’s why we make room for it, for one full day.

Questions

Do I need to prepare anything?

An intake form and a short pre-call. Allow about an hour. That hour decides how deep we can go on the day.

Where does the strategy session take place?

At a quiet venue with lunch, or at your office. Online is possible too, on request.

I’m not in food or retail. Can I join?

Absolutely. The day works for any sector. My retail knowledge only comes up if you bring it up.

What happens after the day?

Your report within a week, and a half-hour call after four weeks. If you want to continue after that, we discuss it separately. It is not a condition.

Invest 1 day. 365 days of direction.

Twenty minutes is enough to know whether this day is right for you.
