Strategic Planning

"Strategy without leadership goes nowhere; leadership without strategy has nowhere to go."
                                                                                                                C.L. Harshman

Strategy, Culture, and Leadership are the three key elements of our Organizational Effectiveness Model.

Strategy is not about what you are doing every day;
it is about why you do it.

There are lots of ways to develop strategy for the organization. One way is the "Ready-Fire-Aim" approach. You simply go about business throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.

You can mimic a strategy. Take a look at what the competition is doing, conduct best practices studies, and hire consultants who have helped the other guys. This approach guarantees you'll be behind the strategic curve. (But, hey, you've got a strategy.)

Or, you can do a planned strategy based on what you know and what you can do best. Take your pick.

We are not "content" strategists. Don't come to us for industry expertise.

We help you structure the strategic planning process and help you facilitate that process.

We have tools to help you diagnose where you are on critical business or organizational issues, help you get clear about the key foundations (mission-vision-values), and help you organize the planning process to deliver a solid product. For an example of one of the tools for which we hold a license, check out QUADSTRAT.
