Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is imperative for sustained profitability and growth. It allows an enterprise to elucidate and evaluate market strengths and opportunities in order to properly align resources with mission statement. The mission statement must be carefully and strategically implemented to direct the company’s market objective. Strategic planning is an organization’s process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue that strategy. It extends to every aspect of corporate control including human capital, finance, operations, marketing, capital investment, R&D, executive compensation, corporate governance, and intellectual property, to guide the implementation and management of the organization’s strategy.
We employ a variety of analytical tools and techniques to develop a custom strategic planning model to provide a solid framework for strategic planning model. Our strategic planning model employs fundamental, technical, and financial analysis taking into account micro and macro economics. Our planning models utilize PEST analysis, Scenario planning, Porter’s five forces analysis and others which addresses industry attractiveness and rivalry through the bargaining power of buyers and suppliers and the threat of substitute products and new market entrants. We also employ SWOT analysis, and Growth-share matrix, which involves portfolio decisions about which businesses to retain or divest. Balanced Scorecards and strategy maps creates a systematic framework for measuring and controlling strategy. We also employ Responsive Evaluation, which uses a constructivist evaluation approach to identify the outcomes of objectives, which future strategic planning exercises. We analyze our client’s market standing, and help them agree on organizational targets for achieving specific short, medium, and long range goals.
