- What is happening in the marketplace that is impacting our business and our customers?

Strategic Planning Services
Our Philosophy
We believe that strategic planning forces senior teams, directors, and business owners to envision and evaluate the future business climate and their strategic response in a structured and thoughtful way. Done well, it makes individuals, teams, and organizations more competitive and positioned to win.
Our Approach
Strategic planning should be designed to create a well-defined path forward that supports a vision for what the organization aspires to achieve. A critical outcome of our What/So What/Now What method is the development of a strategic pathway that leads to the effective execution of a series of actions based on prioritized strategic initiatives.
Engaging us to assist you with strategic planning typically follows this path:
Step One
A virtual kick-off with business leadership to confirm scope and desired outcomes.
Step Two
Conduct individual interviews with key stakeholders and business influencers (up to 15 interviews depending on the size of the organization).
Step Three
Facilitation of a 1.5-2 day planning session with senior leadership (board members and trusted advisors, when appropriate). This session will be tailored to the needs of the organization, but typically explores:
Environmental Scan Analysis
Guiding Principles Confirmation
Strategic Intent Development
Strategic Initiative Creation
Preliminary Action Plans
Optional Step
One-day facilitated working session with organization stakeholders to refine Action Plans that inform their go-forward activities.
Your Outcomes
This approach enables your Board of Directors and senior leaders to reach a consensus on key strategies and tactics for guiding the organization into the future. The result is a clear direction, informed business decisions, a unique position of differentiation, and an engaging workplace.
