Strategic Planning

The strategic planning process is one of the most important executive functions. The most enduring companies plan on a 3-5 year, a one year and a 90-day horizon. Energy is put into developing key objectives on a quarterly basis and managing their achievement on a weekly basis. A well written strategic plan is the one document that can be used to achieve the following:

• Plan Development: We will facilitate and create an actionable strategic plan to be used for daily decision making. It can be used to align the efforts of your work force, reinforce the culture of the organization, share management's view of where the company is and their vision of where the company is going, define long term and short term goals, set clear, measurable milestones that mark progress towards important goals, and define metrics that can be used daily/weekly to measure short term progress. The plan creates accountability for goal achievement.
• SWOT Analysis: We facilitate the discovery of your company's strengths, weakness, and the opportunities to exceed goals set in the strategic plan and threats to derail the plan.
• Development of an annual budget: We will work with you to develop an annual budget in spreadsheet form that can be used to project your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow for the next 12 months and compare actual results with plan.
