STRATEGY

The strategic planning process is a comprehensive, systematic approach to corporate planning. The process begins by envisioning a desired future, translating this vision into broadly defined goals or objectives, creating a sequence of actions to achieve the objectives and finally mobilizing resources to execute the actions.

Each stage of the process: planning, assessing, initiative selection and executing poses unique problems. As a result, many strategic plans are not successful. That is why it is imperative to build a simple, pragmatic, aligned, and actionable process that can be cascaded throughout the organization.

An effective plan will identify better opportunities, mitigate contentious issues and assure alignment throughout the organization using a common language easily understood by all. In other words, create actual value in the organization.

Three Pillar Reinforcement

While an organization's efforts may focus on strategy, the likelihood of success will be far greater if supported by solid foundations of talent provision and employee engagement. With highly-motivated, content and talented people, the ability to execute corporate initiatives will be amplified, increasing organizational value incrementally.
