Strategic Planning Simulations
Increase your organization’s ability to achieve results by
involving key managers in the strategic planning process
Through our customization process, we
create a tool based on your company's actual financial plans. We
then engage management teams in a facilitated process to gain better
understanding into their company's profitability drivers and
identification of key activities that will ensure fulfillment of
budgets or plans. The outputs are concrete action plans with a time
plan, follow-up and ROI goals.
Here are some questions to ask to
determine if this type of facilitated process can add value to your
organization:
- How do you ensure that your subordinates have realistic
budgets/plans that are well thought out and thoroughly analyzed?
- How will you identify and implement the actions needed to
achieve your goals and objectives?
- When you have your annual senior managers meeting, how do
you ensure that managers are aligned around your growth
objectives?
- How would your success rate improve if all key people were
actively engaged in achieving your goals?
When to use this process:
- During the budget process to ensure that you are formulating
realistic plans
- At your Leadership & Management Conferences where you want
to align your team around a few important business scenarios
- As follow-on to the learning from a Business Acumen Seminar
to create a deep dive into your business strategy and ensure
that your managers are implementing their learning via concrete
actions plans
