Strategic Planning Process
Designing the Future
Beyond only hiring and culture creation, strategic planning is arguably the most fundamental employee-related endeavor in any organization, and research released in December 2020 indicates that in our [eventual] post-COVID-19 world, 85% of managers view it as their #1 priority in 2021.
It's no longer trite to say that we are entering an unprecedented era, because it's true; one ripened by new world orders, tremendous social change, sweeping technological advancements (robotics and AI among them), a plethora of information, increasing speed, decentralized decision making, and much, much more. In the past year alone, the United States has seen more than 10,000 retail stores roll up their carpets, and Fortune magazine estimates that more than 100,000 establishments that temporarily shut down due to the recent pandemic are now out of business for good. As Dylan sang, the times they are a-changin', and with so many genies out of their bottles (including tens of millions of employees in the States alone who might as well now be viewed as "free agents"), there's no stopping the sands of time.
Tumult, however, also presents untold opportunities. Baron Rothschild, for example, an 18th century British nobleman who famously made a fortune in the days following Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo famously suggested, "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."
Through our Strategic Planning Process, we introduce an evergreen solution (not an episodic event) that facilitates your organization's consideration of such realities—and responses to them—on an ongoing basis henceforth. We can also facilitate the creation of Vision, Mission, Values, Core Ideologies, Strategies, Goals, and Tactics (if desired) that can weave seamlessly together to strengthen prioritization, resource planning, and talent development in real-time to achieve a stronger state of preparedness and sustainability in the months and years ahead.
