Building Alignment to Move Together
The goal of Strategic Planning is to think through moves - the potential choices facing an organization at a given point in the organization’s lifecycle. Alignment amongst a Senior Team is a critical first step. Together, we’ll work through simple and digestible frameworks that will drive critical and productive discussions amongst your leaders.
Steps in Strategic Planning
Assessment
The first step is to gain an understanding of the context the organization is operating under. What lifecycle phase are you facing? How effective is the organization in achieving what it is built to do? How are key stakeholders judging the success of the organization? What’s needed to move?
Co-Design the Planning Process
Working together, we will map out the pieces of strategy development that need the most attention for your organization. In this way, we will build on what exists to design a planning process that is efficient, effective, and engaging.
Engagement & Implementation
Taking a human-centered approach, we will use the perspectives of your team, your stakeholders, alongside industry intelligence to recraft your strategy.
We will work together to clarify the steps forward, as you begin to implement changes immediately, creating a system of ongoing evaluation, adjustment, and achievement to keep your planning process alive.
