What is strategic planning?

Strategic planning is a process used by organizations to create a direction for their company and to develop a comprehensive plan to achieve short, medium, and long-term objectives. The strategic planning process differs from a business plan, which defines an organization’s structure and business model. Often neglected, strategic planning is essential to the overall success of your company. Our strategic planning co-creation workshops are divided into three parts.

The three steps to the strategic planning process

Where do you stand?

This is a review of your company’s current situation. During this analysis, you must be realistic, detached, and critical. This first step prepares you for the planning process’s next question or the second step. Putting this step to paper helps with the planning process by serving as a benchmark. Often included in this step is a market analysis or interviews with stakeholders and may include a customer or employee survey.

Where do you want to go?

Answering the question “Where do you want to go?” is at the heart of the strategic planning process. By defining or refining your purpose, vision, mission, values, and priorities, you create a roadmap that guides short, medium and long-term actions

How will you get there?

This last step involves exploring the possible solutions to achieve your various strategic objectives. We help you consider options such as diversification, acquisition, developing a new product or opening a new market. We then craft a clear roadmap to get there.
