Organizations lacking robust strategic planning typically have customers who aren’t sure what differentiates them from their competitors, internally have competing priorities across functional boundaries, and spend too much time fighting crises instead of building sustainable capability. 

Indicators of Excellence in Strategic Planning are an organization that focuses on value creation from an enterprise perspective (vs. a primary focus on functional value creation), decision-making investments for the future are not about what to do but how to best do it. Everyone in the organization knows the differentiating value proposition and the core cross-functional business processes used to deliver on that value proposition. 

Specific services that organizations have used to make a significant improvement in Strategic Planning are:

• Strategic Planning Facilitation
• Sr. Leadership Team Alignment Sessions
