Breakthrough Business Planning

Long and Short Term Strategic Planning

 

Our unique strategic planning process can create wonders for your organization--we call it Breakthrough Business Planning. What can you expect from this process? Read the executive summary below:

  1. It is a simplified process specifically designed for small and mid-sized companies.
     

  2. This process uses a funnel approach: First, an analysis is created of the external environment and markets in which your company exists. After examining your company's competition, mission and other factors, a series of strategic directions (complete with action plans and budgets) are established.
     

  3. This process is about implementation and action. Once time lines, budgets, and action plans are established, the group can continue to be focused on implementation by meeting monthly.
     

  4. This process creates dialogue, the airing of various viewpoints, and the creation of commitment, consensus, and alignment among the participants. The results:

  • A focused and aligned key employee and management group.
     

  • An analysis of the current and future business environment.
     

  • An examination of your market segments and your competitors in those segments.
     

  • A strategic assessment of your company and its strengths and weaknesses.
     

  • Strategic objectives, which take into account your strengths.
     

  • Action plans and budgets so that everybody knows who, what, where, and when.
     

  • A process to monitor, give feedback, and to implement the action plan.
     

  • A written strategy which will contain the above as well as marketing assessments and an analysis of your competition.

 

This process is about implementation and tangible results

 

It is a three and a half day exercise (plus an additional half day for orientation). The days are not held back-to-back, but are one to four weeks apart from each other depending on the amount of research you want to do in between. The exercise provides coaching and support for the leadership group to become potent leaders and a team.
