Planning & Strategic Leadership
Strategic Planning
Our staff can guide and facilitate an organization in establishing an operating plan. Emphasis is on strategic and long-range planning: developing Mission, Vision and Values; assessing the environment; setting balanced goals; aligning strategies; establishing objectives and accountabilities; determining performance measurements; and converting objectives into action plans.
Change Management
In order to keep up with the ever changing market, companies must challenge the organization's employees to adapt and improve business processes and practices. Organizational changes can be either holistic or tactical. Having a structured approach to developing a clear vision of a future state, communicating that vision to all involved, and leading the change by executing the strategy is critical to the success of any level of change effort.
Additionally, companies must have a clear understanding of the differences between leadership and management and how to effectively engage the organization at multiple levels. Our staff has helped many customers with change management, through a variety of levels of effort. From one-on-one executive coaching to training the larger numbers of staff, we have a solid record of achieving success.
