This Business Consultancy Project (BCP) was written as part of the Executive MBA programme of the International Hellenic University. In this report, we present you with the real story behind sponsoring organisation TOPP Tactical Intelligence (TTI), who have requested a Business Plan for external communication with interested parties, mostly for financing or participation to the venture. TTI is an early start-up technology & business consultancy company founded late 2016 by a team of three former colleagues who spent most of their careers working together on high-profile strategic programmes which have enabled top- tier organisations to become industry leaders in the financial services industry. TTI is devoted to offering a wide set of cost-saving, risk reduction, and talent enrichment services to medium and large size multinational organisations via the implementation of an innovative, cloud-based, operational excellence, "on- demand software" product named PRESTO. The research methodology employed in the BCP lies on a combination of Qualitative & Quantitative empirical data gathered in the form of in-depth face- to-face interviews and fieldwork between Martina Franca in Italy, Frankfurt and London. The Business Plan is underpinned by a set of literature references based on the core and elective modules delivered during the Executive MBA programme to analyse the business environment and propose realistic and feasible strategies. Moreover, we use a blend of tools and frameworks developed by leading scholars to arrive at insights that are applicable in the case of TTI, whilst turning academic theory into practice. We roll out the business plan structured around functions including incorporation, finance, human resources, operations, marketing, strategy and financial forecasting. Finally, we conclude the analysis by presenting our arguments pertaining to the feasibility of the Business Plan along with a timeline of project deliverables.
