Strategic Planning

What is Strategic Planning?

Strategic planning is all about getting clear on where you need to go and then planning how you’re going to get there. It's as simple as that!

All leaders know that strategy is important. But almost all also find it daunting, because it forces them to confront a future they can only guess at. Worse, actually choosing a strategy entails making decisions that explicitly cut off possibilities and options. We believe that strategic planning requires business leaders to be open to creating new avenues for their organisation to ensure the best outcomes are achieved.

What do you get?

We create strategic plans with a focus on execution. We’ll show you how to craft your company’s vision and execute your strategy through practical and effective frameworks that are proven to deliver clarity of direction and measurable impact. The process covers:

  • An inspiring Strategic Plan that will deliver clarity and impact

  • The chance to work collaboratively with your leaders to build a plan they understand and will own

  • Specialist facilitation and discussion on all the difficult topics that need clarification and alignment

  • Identification of a future Vision, stretch goals and a strategic intent that will inspire you and your people

  • Clarifying the purpose and expected behaviours that will define the culture you need to deliver a solid strategy

  • Defining how you will play to win in the marketplace in the future through analysis and industry data

  • Clarification of how the strategy needs to be executed by the company in the immediate future to start to see the change the business needs

  • Building your team’s strategic planning capabilities to set them, and your business up for long term success

Why do you need it?

  • Strategic planning is necessary to determine the direction of your organisation- without it you are rudderless

  • It allows businesses to establish (and stick to) priorities

  • It fosters accountability.

  • It gives people clarity on the common goal and pathway the collective is working to.

  • It helps owners create a pathway for succession, sale or to continue their success to date.
