Strategic Planning

Simply put, a Strategic Plan identifies where an organization wants to be at some point in the future and how it is going to get there. However, the truth of the matter is that a Strategic Plan can either be efforts generating little long-term impact, or it can be a driving force toward specific goals and objectives. Few tools are better suited to help address sustainability and focus on mission than an effective Strategic Plan. A successful strategic planning process examines and enables informed projections about system-wide realities. It helps an organization to anticipate and respond to change by clarifying its mission and goals; targeting spending; prioritizing; and reshaping its products and services, identifying and memorializing points of pain, opportunities for growth and improvement, and other aspects of operations.

Through a collaborative approach with input from diverse stakeholders, EGP brings an experienced, objective mindset that assists the organization in successfully charting the course for its future. Our firm will tailor the strategic planning process and its respective deliverables to your unique needs.

Some of the benefits of a Strategic Plan include:

  • Learning from and educating stakeholders of the best practices of other organizations
  • Empowering key stakeholders and staff to make better and more informed decisions, sharing of responsibility by leadership, and execution by the staff
  • Improving the energy and the focus of decision-makers and the executive team
  • Providing clarity of path for the organization’s mission
  • Integrating marketing, finance, operations, and human resource strategy into a cohesive and efficient use of limited resources
  • Clearly identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT )
  • Identifying “easy wins” for improved functionality
  • Improving morale by facilitating team-building and focus on mission
  • Coordinating internal efforts, clarifying priorities, and developing an implementation plan
  • Uncovering the spectrum of creative and intellectual capacity of the organization

Additionally, a successful Strategic Plan involves identifying and assigning specific, quantifiable deliverables. A Strategic Plan is not a simple sprint. It is a relay race where all members of the organization understand their role, responsibilities, and priorities in achieving measurable success. Let EGP excelerate your organization!
