The Role Of Strategic Planning Consulting Services To Make A Company More Successful In Its Goals

Strategic planning is vital for an organization as it establishes sequences for the realization of the stated future vision of an organization. It bridges the gap from overall direction to specific projects, and articulates what an organization needs to do succeed with its chosen markets. By making everyone aware of company’s goals, strategic planning consulting services create a single, forward-focused vision for the company’s stakeholders, and increase a sense of responsibility throughout the organization.

Strategic planning consulting company, such as Group50, follows a process to implement the strategy, and many steps are done concurrently. A typical process has below three steps:

Level 1: Strategy and Analysis: This level is primarily the domain of board of directors and senior leadership team. It makes use of a lot of complex analysis and tools like 5 Forces Analysis, market research, value proposition, PEST analysis, and many others that are not related in other parts of the organization. The use of these tools by strategic planning consulting services provides the leadership with a powerful base of information about the needs of their stakeholders, markets, customers, and the current state of the business. Once strategies have been created, it is necessary to understand operating gaps and strategic gaps, and create strategies and tactics to address those gaps. The organization will also need to set objectives in this stage, driven by the company’s Most Important Goals (MIGs) and supporting strategies. This will require a series of metrics that will tell the company how it is doing relative to the implementation of its plan. These metrics will typically include financial and project-related timelines for that purpose.

Level 2: Knowledge and Change Management: This level establishes a bridge between strategy and results. It involves full engagement of all stakeholders, alignment, agreement, skills, and team optimization. Primarily being the domain of middle-level leaders, this level of business strategy requires a full understanding of skills and capabilities to close operating gaps and strategic gaps, team optimization, performance management, cascading objectives, and other tools and techniques. Middle- Level leaders will need to plan the organizational strategies and tactics required to have people who can implement change and operate the future state. Most organizations fail at implementing strategy because they spend too little time thinking through this stage, and it’s here that the expertise of Group50 strategic planning consulting company can make all the difference.

Level 3 — Implementation is what moves the strategic needle forward. If Levels 1 and 2 are done properly, then the operating teams have the right human resources, skills, technology, and financial support for implementing strategies and measuring material results. Level 3 is primarily the domain of project teams, individual contributors, vendors, and process owners which are referenced as others in the chart below. It is about technology, process reengineering, analytics, measurement, and continuous improvement. This is where new products, services, systems, business processes, and supply chains are transformed into the future state. The language of Level 3 consists of the application of technology, business process re-engineering, and the tools from the Six Sigma toolkit.

Business Hierarchy ® of Needs change management framework

These three levels are key ingredients of Group50’s Business Hierarchy ® of Needs change management framework that make up an effective change management process for creating strategy, optimizing the organization and implementing change. Every organization does the things in the Business Hierarchy of Needs® to some degree. The difference between organizations that have a culture of strategic execution and others who don’t is the disciplined change management methodology they follow.

Alignment and buy-in are critical to the successful implementation of strategy. The development of a company’s strategic plan and the layers of the organization are important for developing each level. Strategic Execution encompasses multiple business processes which include strategic planning, a Most Important Goal, cascading strategic objectives throughout the organization and performance management.
