WHAT IS STRATEGIC PLANNING?
At its essence, strategic planning determines how an organization will leverage its resources to progress from its current state toward a future state. This requires defining company purpose (mission/vision), anchoring values/culture, analyzing current positioning, competitive landscape and target audiences, articulating overarching growth goals paired with short-term quarterly objectives, and mapping specific activities across departments to reach targets.
Strategic planning requires a helicopter view to hone in on pivotal choices that will cascade returns, while still balancing detailed sequencing and flexibility to adapt as needed. It serves as both the compass and fuel. As your coach, I integrate the components critical for coherent, high-performance strategic plans unique to your expanding business.
WHY DO BUSINESS OWNERS NEED A COACH TO HELP WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING?
With everyday demands consumed by handling daily fires, most business owners struggle to shift focus toward high-altitude assessment and future mapping. Yet failing to plan means planning to fail; organizations without strategy stagnate or meander ineffectively.
As an outside catalyst and trusted advisor, your coach provides specialized methodology, personalization and accountability otherwise unattainable on your own. I prompt unflinching evaluation of current vulnerabilities, blindspots that limit perspective, assumptions that constrain possibilities, and areas for improvement or realignment. A coach’s primary function is to widen your aperture---reframing beliefs, introducing new models, and merging granular details to conceive strategic pathways.
WHAT ARE SOME KEY ELEMENTS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING?
While each organization’s strategic blueprint differs based on internal make-up and external variables, essential components involve: clearly articulating vision/mission/values; quantitative and qualitative goal-setting tied to benchmarks; incisive analysis of market forces/growth potential; determining ideal customer targets, unmet needs and tailored value propositions; improving operational efficiency/resources optimization; competitive positioning/USP mapping; financial forecasting and investment allocation; multi-dimensional risk assessment; KPIs to track progress towards goals; developing integrated systems for accountability; maximizing technological infrastructure to scale; crafting responsive reporting tools and adaptable frameworks to update strategy as internal/external factors shift. Effective strategic planning interlinks each layer into an actionable roadmap.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A STRATEGIC PLANNING BUSINESS COACH?
You can expect me to wholly immerse in comprehending your existing business strategy and desired future state in order to advise optimal pathways between the two. I won’t hand you generic, cookie-cutter tactical plans, but instead collaborate to build milestones rooted in your unique capabilities and objectives.
You will gain an astute thinking partner to help analyze and connect the dots between disparate planning facets, along with targeted recommendations on sequencing and implementation planning.
