Strategic Planning Facilitation

My Strategic Planning Facilitation service is for an organization that needs to formulate a comprehensive strategy relevant to its current context.

At the start of the planning exercise, the planning team will decide on what its purpose should be. In addition, it will define its vision, mission, and values.

Next, the planning team will examine the external environment to identify actionable opportunities and threats, as well as the competition in its industry. Moreover, the planning team will reflect on its organization’s internal strengths and weaknesses.

As the next step, the planning team will craft its general strategy and set its strategic goals for the planning period involved.

Finally, the planning team will map out strategic actions to implement its strategy.

With my assistance, the planning team can be assured that its strategy is based on solid decision-making.

Depending on the size and complexity of the company, strategic planning can take from two to five days.  Incidentally, this service requires pre-planning work that involves gathering needed data and information, and understanding the client’s operations.

Departmental Planning

My Departmental Planning Facilitation service is for company departments that need to craft plans for the coming operating period.

Using the current strategy of the company as the starting point, departments will set objectives for the next operating period and define the steps needed to achieve these. Also, they will determine required resources, timelines and milestones, key performance indicators, and operating budgets.

With my guidance, the company can be sure that its departments will come up with sound and executable operating plans.

Depending on the complexity of company operations, departmental planning can take from one to three days.

Project Planning

My Project Planning Facilitation service is for a team that needs to plan for a specific project.

Initially, the project team will study the project’s business case, determine its scope of work, and set its objectives. Then, the team will break down the project into work packages. Next, they will identify the human, material, financial, and other resources needed to complete each work package. Finally, the team will develop implementation parameters and protocols, as well as project closure procedures.

With my help, the team can produce a well-crafted plan that will make project management efficient and effective.

Project planning can take from one day to five days based on the size of the project.
