What Happens to Business With Poor Strategies.

The following problems are a selection that will, without exception, arise for businesses that have weak strategies.

You will notice that bankruptcy is not among them.

That is because, as I’ve said many times, a good strategy is not necessary for the financial success of your business.

You can fall backward into growth – and many brands do.

But even if that’s the case, these chronic problems will remain; causing perpetual headaches and holding your business back from the far greater potential that lies within.

So let’s get to it. What are the consequences of poor strategy ?

Consequence 1–You will make average profits.

The broadest result of weak strategy will be an inability to make remarkable profits. Poor strategies enable you to allocate your limited resources in the areas with average return on investment.

You will still make money with poor strategies. But the profit you earn is not remarkable enough to tolerate the growth of your business.

Consequence 02: You will be more similar to your competitors.

The other result of the weak strategy is an inability to distinguish yourself from competitors. You will feel locked in the battle with other businesses fighting by lowering prices which in turn will reduce your margin.

Consequence no 3: You will be at the mercy of big guys.

The well-financed multinational companies have the resources to edge out small competitors by being able to cut prices the lowest and spend the most on marketing campaigns.

Consequence 4–You won’t know what to do next.

With a tight and focused strategy, you will have a way to evaluate which idea or project has the potential to give you a high return on investment. It’s like being able to tell the future.

If your idea is on-strategy then it will fit with the overall picture and lead to growth. And if it’s off- strategy then it won’t. This is useful when it comes to decision-making and allocation of resources.

 

If like most businesses, however, you don’t have a strategy that acts as such a filter, then the suitability of your projects depends on guesswork. Will this idea lead to growth? Will this project work? Who knows, better just give it a go and find out.

Consequence 5- Slow growth.

The problem with poor strategies for business is that they suffer years of slow growth because of the lack of direction and focus.

Consequence 6- You will finish each feeling unfulfilled in your business.

If you have weak strategy you will end up like many businesses out there that finish each week not fulfilled in their business. They are not fulfilled because they are not engaged and motivated about where they are going.

 

 

A  thriving business lacks these issues

What Happens When You Build a Petrol Station In the Wrong Location?

The following problems are a selection that will, without exception, arise for businesses that locate their petrol station in a bad location.

You will notice that bankruptcy is not among them.

That is because, as I’ve said many times, a good petrol station location site is not necessary for the financial success of your petrol station business.

You can fall backward into growth – and many brands do.

But even if that’s the case, these chronic problems will remain; causing perpetual headaches and holding your petrol station business back from the far greater potential that lies within.

So let’s get to it. What are the consequences of poor location?

Consequence 1–You will make average profits.

The broadest result of locating your petrol station in a poor location will be an inability to make remarkable profits. Poor petrol station sites attract insufficient numbers of motorists for you to make superior profits to accelerate the growth of your business.

You will still make money in the poor petrol station sites. But the profit you earn in this nonstrategic location is just average.

Consequence 02: You will be more similar to your competitors.

The other result of the wrong petrol station site is an inability to distinguish yourself from competitors. You will feel locked in the battle with other operators fighting by lowering prices which in turn will reduce your margin.

Consequence no 3: You will be at the mercy of big guys.

The well-financed multinational oil and gas companies have the resources to edge out small petrol station competitors by being able to cut prices the lowest and spend the most on marketing campaigns.

Consequence 4–You won’t know what to do next.

With a tight and focused strategy, you will have a way to evaluate which location has the potential to give you a high return on investment. It’s like being able to tell the future.

If location is on-strategy then it will fit with the overall picture and lead to growth. And if it’s off- strategy then it won’t. This is useful when it comes to decision-making and allocation of resources. If like most businesses, however, you don’t have a strategy that acts as such a filter, then the suitability of your location sites descend to rank guesswork. Will this location lead to growth? Will this site work? Who knows, better just give it a go and find out.

Consequence 5- Slow growth.

The problem poor location creates for business is that they suffers years of slow growth as they waiting for their trade areas to develop and expand.

So there you have it. A thriving petrol station business is the one which lack these issues

Four Africa’s Current LNG Projects that Will Grow Your Business.

There are several big projects in progress or awaiting FID. These include Coral North FLNG, Rovuma LNG, Mozambique LNG, and Tanzania LNG in Southeast Africa. These projects will be instrumental in significantly increasing Africa’s LNG export capacity over the next decade.

1.Coral North FLNG
This proposed project would be a duplicate of the Coral South FLNG currently in operation. The north facility is expected to commence operations in 2027 and will be providing a capacity of 3.5 million tpy alongside the 3.5 million tpy already in place at Coral South.

 

2.Rovuma LNG
Rovuma LNG was initially going to be a two-train project with 7.6 million tpy capacity per train combining for 15.2 million tpy. However, the design was recently changed to use small modular units. It has become a 12-train project with 1.5 million tpy capacity per train but a higher total capacity of 18 million tpy. These smaller trains are becoming more popular for new LNG project proposals. It helps mitigate risk for stakeholders who do not have to commit to large projects from the beginning, but can instead commit to additions to the project as demand changes over time.

3.Mozambique LNG
This project was proposed to take advantage of the approximately 65 trillion ft3 of natural gas that was found of the northern coast of Mozambique in 2010. The project reached FID in 2019 but stalled due to concerns of security and stability within the area. However, TotalEnergies recently announced that they were in the process of re-starting construction. The project was originally going to be delivering its first cargo in 2024 and was going have the capacity to export 43 million tpy.

5.Tanzania LNG
While the three projects described above are all located within Mozambique, this last project is to be sited just north of Mozambique in Tanzania. The project was initially proposed in 2016 and would provide 10 million tpy worth of capacity, but negotiations have been slow. However, recently Equinor, Shell, and Exxon reached an agreement with the Tanzanian government on a regulatory framework and how the LNG produced at this facility will be shared. The Acting Director of Tanzania’s Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority, Charles Sangweni, stated: “We are happy it is a big step towards the implementation of the project although we have a lot to do. If everything goes well as planned, I am confident that the final investment decision will be reached in 2025.”

Business Plan For Lubricant(Automotive and Industrial Oils) Business in East Africa

Introduction

The Problem

In the context of East Africa, the lubricant market is characterized by fragmented supply chains, inconsistent product quality, and limited accessibility to a diverse range of lubricant products. Businesses across the region struggle to secure reliable and high-quality lubricants that cater to both their automotive and industrial needs. This challenge poses a significant hurdle to operational efficiency, equipment longevity, and overall cost-effectiveness.

Additionally, end consumers often face difficulties in finding lubricant options that meet the stringent requirements of modern vehicles and industrial machinery. The lack of a trusted, comprehensive, and accessible lubricant distribution partner has led to inefficiencies, suboptimal performance, and increased maintenance costs, impeding the region’s overall economic growth.

Uganda Tilenga Project Development Stage and East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline Project(EACOP) Outlook 2021-2025

Uganda has made its early steps towards the development phase with the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services contract for the Tilenga Project awarded to a consortium of a subsidiary of McDermott International, Ltd and Sinopec International.

The Tilenga project which includes six oil fields and will feature 426 oil wells at full production is located in the Lake Albert Basin, Republic of Uganda and is the centerpiece of oil projects projected to bring investments of over $10bn to Uganda and Tanzania.  It will consist of 31 well pads connected to a central processing facility (CPF) via buried flowlines.

This new report looks into the various aspects of the development phase project scope starting with the development of the nine oilfields and the supporting facilities such as camps.  The report looks into initial project schedule and phases with first dives into the expected contracts into the first six months and  overall project schedule thereafter.

Later the report addresses the preliminary well pad schedule for the three rigs as well as services and goods to be provided by Ugandan companies. This is particularly important as the government pushes for local content in the project and the license holders promise to involve local enterprises as a way to acquire a social operating license.

The report also unbundles other support infrastructure projects including the Kabaale industrial park, the refinery and the East African Crude Oil pipeline (EACOP). Under the EACOP construction phase the report looks at the route, design and planned facilities while it considers the cost-benefit ratio of the refinery.

Lastly the report highlights the technical attributes of the EACOP and Tilenga feeder along the five spreads before concluding in the pipeline characteristics.
