Implement your Strategy
Congratulations on your terrific, brilliant new strategic plan.
Now what?

Implementation Support
What is it?
Implementation support is when clients optimize our experience in planning and management and, if we have helped them build their strategic plan, the knowledge we have of their plan to provide scale to their management team as they move into implementing a new strategic direction.
How it works?
In the final stages of the planning process or directly after the plan is approved, we evaluate the planning or implementation priorities for the first phase of a new strategic direction. We use this analysis to prepare a proposal to work with the management team on the highest priority gaps in capacity or capability.
What We Deliver.
Implementation support covers many areas (see our graphic of possible projects). The most frequently requested areas are Strategic Plan Communication, Role Clarity & Org. Alignment, Product/Program Development, Department/Initiative Planning, Annual Planning Retreats, and Strategic Plan Updates.
Implementation Support
Creating the plan is just the start.
We offer a number of implementation support services to our clients preparing to implement their new strategic direction. These services aid our clients to successfully integrate their plan’s new goals and ways of thinking into their operations.
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.
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.
Clear direction for strategic planning and a really good focus on the big picture. Great follow-through.
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.
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.
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.
