Not to worry, we are the experts that will make you look great!

 

We make strategy possible.

 

Since 1999, we have been working to build brilliant plans that guide organizations through their next stage of growth and to higher levels of performance against their strategic goals.

Our clients include companies and non-profit organizations ready to take this next step in their evolution.

Outcomes you can depend on.

Clarity

A strategic plan provides a lens to examine significant decisions by articulating the end game or long-range vision of success for teams to use as a beacon that guides decision-making.

Is this in alignment with where we want to go?

Confidence

A great strategic plan is crafted through rich planning discussions where team members develop and vet their strategic thinking to form a plan they can support.

This level of planning and debate provides the rationale leaders need to make decisions and align resources with confidence.

Productivity

With clarity comes confidence. When there is clarity and confidence there is action.

When teams align behind a well-developed strategic plan, performance is accelerated. In fact, the track record of our clients is they achieve their strategic plan goals at least 1 year ahead of plan.

We are experts at planning; you are experts in your business.

Learn about our strategy development approach and how it contributes to our clients consistently achieving their goals a year ahead of plan.

 

 

Many organizations will do short-term strategic planning; they have a plan for three years and then see where they are before defining what to focus on next. We wanted a very powerful, bold vision to guide our mission into the future, and we are indeed much stronger and more sustainable because we took the longer view.
Anne B.
Non-profit CEO
Our founder is the classic entrepreneur; he has the strategic mind of the founder and appears to operate from the gut feel strategy guy. It is hard for him to translate his thoughts into a business plan. Working with the Focused Momentum approach, we were able to get those great ideas out of his head and build a plan that the entire team could implement.
Katharine E.
Asset Management Co. Manager
Clear direction for strategic planning and a really good focus on the big picture. Great follow-through.
Gayle E.
Non-profit Board Member
The Focused Momentum team facilitates conversations amongst the group without swaying the conversation. They kept the group on track and allowed us to formulate our thoughts and objectives.
Alan R.
Non-profit Board President
Cecilia's facilitation was terrific. Even in the middle, when we thought we were all over the place, Cecilia saw the direction clearly and got us there together.
Katherine V.
Non-profit Board President
I realize that our strategy session four years ago started us on the path to help us consider a different future than just going it alone. On more than one occasion, we could have been distracted, but each time, we stuck to our plan and attracted a great acquisition candidate. Now, the future for our entity and staff is very bright. That was our objective when we first met with Cecilia and her team. They were an amazing force in facilitating the first real strategic planning process for us, and this work sowed the seeds of a wonderful harvest.
