We believe in COmmitment.

Creating a strategic plan is an annual exercise most organizations complete. While the intentions are good, studies show that only 10% to 30% of company visions actually achieve their goals. Whether it’s overall complexity, failure to align budget and resources, or an inability to engage team members, a strategic plan that fails to guide daily decision-making is nothing more than a file on your shared drive. The Cheshire Cat’s wisdom to Alice holds true, “if you don’t know where you are going, any road will do.”

Sports coaches don’t teach players to go after the ball. Instead, they teach them to go where the ball is going to be. An effective strategic plan isn’t about documenting where you are today. It’s a vivid description of where you want to go and how you are going to get there. Rather than trying to do too much at once or picking projects based on sponsor seniority, build a business vision that prioritizes effort, aligns the proper resources, and selects projects based on their importance to the organization.

Most strategic plans include revenue, profitability, innovation, and customer service objectives. While your external goals are important, your strategic plan will ultimately be accomplished by your people. We help you build a plan that integrates both people and performance. Ensuring your culture keeps pace with the growth of your business requires just as much discipline as achieving your financial targets.

We help you create a holistic view of long-term goals (three to five years), breakthrough strategies (one year) and must do, can’t fail initiatives (six months). This process aligns organizational resources by allowing you to focus where there is true urgency​, prioritize breakthroughs for the year, and deselect pet projects. Replicable by division, location, and team, our consistent format allows for an aligned, scalable approach.
