– StratEx Strategic Planning Workshops
The Need
There are times when the last strategic plan is made almost instantly obsolete. In some cases it is a matter of market conditions, natural disaster or in our latest experience, economic disaster. Sometimes the world catches us in a position that is a little embarrassing.
In these circumstances, organizations tend to move away from strategic planning in favor of a more “shoot from the hip” approach. This is completely understandable from an urgency point of view. It also makes sense because of the classic approach taken to strategic planning that is slow, contemplative, soul searching and introspective in nature.
There just is no time to do any navel gazing when faced with the reality of the rough equivalent of Katrina or 911. That said, there is no better time to employ sound strategic planning concepts in high-speed fashion.
A small investment in the right kind of strategic planning can mobilize a team with greater overall speed than launching into a rescue effort only to find out the helicopter is out of fuel, the truck has a flat tire and the only resource available is a motorcycle.
Sometimes the best thing leaders can do is rally the team around a process that is scaled to fit the situation. That is where we come in
The Offer
What we do is streamline the process so that we get the maximum result in the minimum time with the minimum impact on the team. We do this by:
- Pre-assessing the business situation and interviewing the team to get the maximum amount of context captured
- Designing a custom workshop or set of workshops to accomplish the strategic planning process
- Facilitating the workshop(s) and capture all team output
- Validating the work of the team
- Creating and validating the strategic plan
Many organizations do not have the luxury of a strategic planning office. We will provide you the amount of support you need at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself. Contact Us for more information about how this will work in your situation.
