Strategic thinking is the process of developing a strategy that defines your value proposition and your unique value chain. This process includes market and competitive research as well as an assessment of the company's capabilities and the industry forces impacting it.
We will facilitate and create an actionable strategic plan to be used for daily decision making. It can be used to implement your strategy, align the efforts of your work force, reinforce the culture of the organization, share management's view of where the company is and their vision of where the company is going, define long term and short term goals, set clear, measurable milestones that mark progress towards important goals, and define metrics that can be used daily/weekly to measure short term progress. The plan creates accountability for goal achievement. Also we will help you implement a system to track execution and create accountability for you and your team to execute and realize the change envisioned in the strategic plan.

Our central purpose is to focus our clients' limited resources (time and money) on those things that will maximize their future success. We do not tell clients the solution to their problems or the prescribed strategy for their organizations. We stimulate good strategic thinking and lead their management team along a logical path that will allow them to discover and communicate their unique vision of the future and to take the steps necessary to turn that vision into realty. It is this unique combination of our process and expertise and the clients' knowledge that produces a winning strategy. As Home Depot says, "You can do it. We can help."

At the broadest level, the Simplified Strategic Planning process is a series of structured meetings in which your team starts by gathering some basic data and facts about your external and internal situation. Then you hypothesize key assumptions about the future. You make sure everyone understands it and agrees with the facts and assumptions. They shape all further discussion about strategy.
You will then identify key issues that affect strategy. From there, you go on to develop your strategy (course and direction).
The main point of the Simplified Strategic Planning process is to formulate sound, appropriate strategy to make it manageable. If you want to create a beautifully-bound bookend that everyone has and no one uses, you'll probably spend a lot of time and money. But if you want to create a real, workable plan that gets things done, the Simplified Strategic Planning process is for you.
Remember the entire purpose of strategic planning is to get results. Implementation must be specific because when it is not, it will inevitably fail. The Simplified Strategic Planning process leads to specific implementation of your strategy.
In total, the Simplified Strategic Planning process works out to about seven days of meetings, spread out over twelve weeks or more so that it won't interfere with your day-to-day business.
