YOU SHOULD EXPECT A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT

 

First let us say that we've had experience with many of the other strategic planning systems, most of which are helpful in moving organizations forward. Yet for the money, we believe what we have to offer is a game changer for any organization. Here are many reasons why:  

​

• You Will Manage The Whole
  Our strategic planning process moves leaders to think like 'the owner of the store'. Doing so allows them to look at the business as an entirety, instead of viewing things from their own departmental or team perspective. When they take off their functional cap and put on the owner’s cap, they think differently. 

​

• Your Breakthrough Will Be Horizontal
  There are vertical silos in every enterprise. In a business, these might include sales, HR, engineering, etc. In a non-profit, they might include development, communications, volunteer coordination, etc. With our strategic planning process, individuals come together and think together as a team, thinking cross-functionally. Sales has freedom to speak into engineering. Customer service has freedom to speak into HR. This non-silo approach brings breakthrough. 

​

• The Truth Will Set You Free
  We must be able to speak truthfully about issues. Our strategic planning process cultivates an environment where people are free to be truthful without being fearful or personal. These conversations put truth on the table. It is the truth that will lead through the process of planning, and the process will enable us to reach breakthrough. 

​

• Perspective Before Planning Matters
  One of the fatal flaws of most strategic planning systems is premature planning without full clarity of perspective. If you are in right perspective, the core plan almost writes itself. Perspective is seeing things without distortion, correctly reading the signals of what is unfolding. It’s a matter of squarely facing existing truths. 

​

• You Will Have A Clear Vision For Your Future
  We know that where there is no vision, people grow weary and lose hope. Our strategic planning process is designed to leverage perspective gained in order to clarify vision (where we are headed). But it’s not enough to only clarify the vision. It must also be communicated downstream. It is designed to do just that, so the entire organization knows where it’s headed. 

​

• You Will Be Able To Focus On Your W.I.N.s
  Once a team recognizes the issues and knows where to move forward as a group, they can together focus on the most important issues, or “What’s Important Now”.  With our strategic planning process, there is no more “we vs. they.” The team-developed core plan makes a unified action plan possible. 

​

• Your Form Will Follow Your Function
  With our strategic planning process, form must follow function. Another fatal flaw of other strategic planning systems is premature restructuring. We only talk about structure after we are clear on the vision, plan, and the actions that must take place. The overriding purpose of structure is to ensure that the right decisions get made in a timely way. You won’t get timely accomplishments in the context of the wrong structure. 

​

• Because You Will Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan, Your Plan Will Work.
  Assuming you have the right plan, and the discipline, cadence, and rhythm in your system, your plan will work. The plan must be managed to ensure that in the end we accomplished what we said we would accomplish. The accomplishment is not the plan. The accomplishment is in managing the plan to get the results we set out to accomplish.” 

​

• You Will Experience Constant Adaptation
  Healthy things grow and adapt. It’s no different for companies and organizations. Our strategic planning process does not hold the organization to a rigid set of rules and standards. Instead, it provides a framework, one that gives the organization freedom to adapt to their ever changing environment.
