Strategic Planning

Strategic planning will help you answer existential questions, provide solutions to business challenges, identify your next moves, and clarify your roadmap to meeting your objectives. Using our Visionary Framework, you will be able to align your stakeholders and plan your next 3-5 years with confidence.

Our APPROACH

Using our proven Visionary Framework, we help you answer 4 key questions using our 4-step approach:

1. What is our current situation and how did we get here?

2. What options are available to us and what should we do going forward?

3. What are the steps we need to take to meet our objectives?

4. How will we measure performance as we move forward?

Our capabilities will enable you to formulate a cohesive game plan, clearly communicate that game plan to your teams, align your resources, and move forward with confidence as profits increase over time.

Performance Management

Measuring and managing performance at the organizational, divisional, and employee level are of extreme importance to successfully execute strategy. These components must be in alignment to reach your goals and objectives.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) must also correctly reflect and measure the elements that are most important to your strategy. These include both leading and lagging indicators across domains, not just financial.

Our expertise will help you both ensure alignment across your business and ensure that you are measuring the right KPIs. What gets measured gets managed.

Our Approach

We typically start by reviewing your current strategy and related performance management system to assess its alignment with one another. With this assessment, we can propose key solutions:

Strategy Map:

A tool used to communicate and align strategy across your business.

Balanced Scorecard:

This is an extension of the Strategy Map. This tool is used to measure and monitor the key drivers behind the execution of your strategy.

Performance Management Systems and Alignment:

Assess alignment of your business unit with the organization’s business strategy.
