Strategic planning doesn’t have to be stressful, costly or fruitless.

Executives from companies around the country at times feel that strategic planning can be a frustrating process for the following reasons:

• The executive team lacks a common language for strategy. This results in people arguing over what strategy is instead of doing actual strategic planning.
• The strategic planning process results in too many ideas and priorities. This results in the organization trying to do too much and spreading itself too thin.
• After the strategic plan is written down and passed around, it ends up sitting on a shelf. This results in people feeling bitter and disillusioned about the value of strategic planning.

Strategic planning does not have to be stressful. And, you can get everyone aligned and accountable to implement your strategy when guided by a capable facilitator.

We can help you. We have a complete three-part strategic planning and accountability process that gets everyone on the same page and allows you to:

• Answer the most important strategic questions and agree on only the most important priorities required to navigate a complex world.
• Put in place accountability mechanisms and a structure to make sure your strategy gets communicated and implemented by the whole organization.

The process does not require a team of high-priced consultants. It draws on your employees’ knowledge and expertise and is efficient. You can complete the process via a series of 1on1 conversations with the organization’s leaders blended together with three facilitated meetings. The whole process will typically take 30 – 45 days.

This is a crucial time to engage in strategic planning. There is too much uncertainty in the country and the world to expect for the best. You may have heard it said before that, “Hope is not a strategy.”

Going where the wind blows or staying with the status quo does not need to be the story of your firm. Work with us to plan your way towards a brighter future. The intelligence is inside your organization. We can draw it out via our proven process.

All meetings can be conducted in person or via Zoom.
