We Make Strategy Possible
Shockingly, 80 – 85% of strategic planning efforts are deemed a failure by the executives who lead them.
Charting a new strategic direction can be fraught with peril.
The weight of the organization seemingly hangs in the balance. Everyone has an opinion and wants to be “in the room” to influence these important discussions. Yet, few responsible for leading their organization’s strategic planning efforts are prepared for the challenge.
Leadership teams excel at problem-solving, operational management, and business development. We excel at strategic planning.
Our expertise will discover and leverage your organization’s strategic thinking to produce your next brilliant strategic plan.
Our clients not only deemed our planning efforts a success; they usually achieve their goals a year ahead of plan!
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.
Different Approach - Different Results
Commercial and Non-profit Sectors?
Yes, our strategic planning approach works for commercial, for-profit enterprises as well as non-profit organizations.
The language we use varies slightly between the two sectors, but the principles for developing strategy are the same.
We believe bringing rigor and pragmatism from the for-profit perspective strengthens planning in our non-profit engagements. Conversely, we know that infusing planning projects with purpose and shared commitment, so essential to the non-profit sector, enhances the strategic thinking of our commercial client teams, ultimately enhancing their strategic plan and its implementation.
