  • Strategic Planning

 

Tip #1: Strategic Planning has many purposes, not just determining the "what" the company will do over 3 to 5 years but also setting the longer-term vision, integrating the expertise of key employees, communicating a vision that drives productivity, morale and excitement, and more.

Good Strategic Plans separate the also-ran companies, that go sideways for years, from the market leaders who others follow as they gain market share and grow.   

We take a "teach to fish" approach so that your management team grows and evolves to use best practices at both the strategic and tactical levels.

Some Benefits of the Proprietary AirTight Strategic Planning Process:

1.     Strategic Planning aligns management thinking, taps the entire brain trust of the company to create a clear vision and goals that enhance focus, growth, profitability, revenue and market share.

2.     Strategic Planning, done right, creates sustainable competitive advantage by aligning your team to increase corporate value creation, equity and productivity.

3.     A good Strategic Planning System also includes a “cadence” and processes to improve communications to all levels in the organization on key priorities and integrate that plan into monthly operations. This increases productivity and morale and reduces waste, stress and friction. It creates a positive culture that the best people want to be in their entire careers.

4.     Strategic Planning empowers managers to lead, not depend on the C-Level for every decision, growing their abilities, job fulfillment and creating a winning psychology to empower employees.

5.     Strategic Plans create higher “differentiation” which drives better profitability, lower selling and marketing costs and a niche focus to be the best, a leader not follower, in a given market. Those extra profits then fund more innovation, get the best people and create an increasing lead in market share.

6.     Strategic Planning improves resource allocation, projection ability and accuracy, cash-flow, budgeting and ROI through annual analysis and quarterly checkpoints to realign and adjust. It keeps everyone on task and aligned.

7.     Strategic Planning improves the ability to attract and keep the highest quality employees and allows them to develop their careers and be tied in to long-term results and an emotional mission. This increases loyalty, tenure and productivity and allows you to get and keep the top people in your industry.

8. The best Strategic Plans drive innovation, as a cultural imperative, and also use the latest technologies to create sustainable competitive advantage with minimum risk and investment. In today's fast changing world, with rapid product cycles, it is important to innovate with frugal experimentation - then scale those small, inexpensive tests that work rapidly. This requires the right culture too.

We will not just give you a fancy plan and head for the hills.
We will give you all the tolls and training to connect that strategy with your daily to monthly operations and execute it successfully.
Our System includes training on management best practices that drive companies to be market leaders over time.

Strategic Planning Tip #2: Most companies are stuck in a particular model and mind set and need an outside facilitator to question older ideas and drive innovative approaches to growth, new markets and new products. Strategic Planning must start with a blank slate and examine all possibilities. Only by doing that do you create sustainable competitive advantage and market leadership. You must create and drive the future, not chase competitors. We guarantee you will have a vastly different and better Strategic Plan using us to drive innovative ideas.

 

We can help you develop a world-class, market winning Strategic Plan by using anyone, or all of these techniques for any budget:

1. Providing an optimum framework and process (our kit)

2. Providing video and audio (24/7/365) training to educate your management team and staff 

3. Facilitating the plan's development process with the entire management team, which should be collaborative and teach them strategic thinking and execution

4. Coaching you through the process remotely, or on-site, (depending on your budget and other factors)

5. Taking full responsibility for the entire process and deliverables, which includes all of the following:


a) The Strategic Plan itself,
b) The team mindset and education with a full and excited "by-in" to the mission and vision
c) The processes and training to execute that plan successfully. 
d) Everything needed to communicate that plan, as appropriate, to each department and level of the organization

 

Our Strategic Plans have dominated, and even monopolized, some markets. We can tell you about these case studies and provide references as needed.

No one can do a better job injecting creativity, innovation and enabling technologies into a Strategic Plan given our experience developing these plans since 1989.
