Strategic Business Planning
If you could spend 99% of your time working IN the business, and commit just 1% of your time to working ON the business, would that seem like a fair balance to get the planning you need? That is the approach Predictable Futures takes to helping clients with strategic planning.
Effective business and strategic planning involves ‘looking over the horizon” to see how to prepare, and optimize the opportunities, while mitigating risk. Unfortunately, most business owners and leaders find their days consumed with operational concerns and the “tyranny of the urgent.” Strategic Planning allows a space, time and process to step away from the day-to-day and think carefully about the future. It also allows the key thinkers and leaders in the company to come together and get aligned on where the business is at, where it needs to go, and how it will get there. This investment of time has a massive payback, because a united team with a clear vision and plan will create far more value in the business than a team of great people who are not aligned, or clear on where they are going beyond the short term.
Our Process
One concern we hear regularly is that there is no time available for planning and spending days in “navel-gazing.” We agree. That is why Predictable Futures runs the strategic planning process with minimal time requirements from the company team, and does all the work leading up to the planning day (as well as generating the report after). We also stay with clients as they execute the plan, and provide help and guidance along the way, so the expected results and traction are achieved.
