PLANNING SERVICES
Strategic Thinking
Are you looking for a new strategic plan? Do you have a strategic plan and need help implementing it? Do you have a plan you want to take stock of and update?
We have years of experience designing and facilitating strategic plans that position organizations for future success. Since 2000 we guided development of more than 80 strategic plans. As we look to the near future in a period of COVID-19 recovery, we are offering streamlined virtual strategic thinking services that are cost effective, support organizations in considering short-term options, and help organizations re-align existing strategic plans to their current realities.
Expedited Strategic Planning
This option is for organizations and associations that want to refresh a current strategic plan, need a new plan quickly, or have significant time or resource constraints.
Business Framework Action Planning
This option is for organizations and associations that already have a strategic plan, and need help moving implementation forward or problem-solving implementation challenges. Our framework considers the feasibility of strategic plan goals and objectives from an operational perspective, including financial, human, and technology resources, capacity, and capabilities. We also help you outline specific implementation steps, the timeframe, and who is accountable for moving the work forward.
Scenario Planning
This option is for organizations and associations that are responding to rapidly changing financial or market situations, or that have many opportunities and need an effective way to choose among them. Our strategic direction scenarios are “what if” stories with enough detail to envision them as a real possibility to pursue. Robust scenarios describe alternative choices that are possible and different enough from each other to guide critical strategic thinking.
Strategic Plan Implementation Progress Review
This option is for organizations and associations that have a least a year of strategic plan implementation completed and want to take stock of and celebrate the progress and adjust the strategic plan if needed. It is also a great teambuilding opportunity with Board members and Senior Leadership to ensure that everyone continues to be on the same page about the organization or association strategic direction.
Our Discovery Inquiry for Organizations takes just 5-minutes to complete and helps our team begin to understand the opportunities and challenges your organization is grappling with now and how we can help. We will follow-up with you to schedule a complimentary conversation.
