Strategic planning should be a means not only to produce a strategy, but also to engage stakeholders, develop leadership, and generate new energy, commitment and consensus around mission. Its primary product is not a written plan, but strategic thinking within the organization through a process of planning followed by a process of implementation. A well-conceived and managed planning process can be the most effective form of organizational development.
I have used this presentation to help small companies get an understanding how to setup a strategy that is user friendly and can apply to their project model
Whether you're starting from scratch or already have an established business strategy and planning process, this session provides practical guidance on implementing a framework that boosts company performance, from digital strategies to overall revenue strategies.
Leading a business can be a challenging endeavor, characterized by long hours, tough decisions, and a lack of clear guidance in today's competitive landscape. This session helps executives understand their unique strategies and develop compelling narratives to drive success.
Compelling statistics highlight the importance for executives to define and communicate a clear business strategy and plan. By doing so, organizations can enhance employee engagement, improve execution capabilities, align projects with strategic objectives, increase the likelihood of successful strategy implementation, and ultimately outperform competitors in today's dynamic business landscape.
The statistics paint a clear picture of the critical role executives play in defining and communicating a clear business strategy and plan.
• Only 22% of employees believe their leaders have a clear direction for the organization.
• 70% of strategic initiatives fail due to unclear goals and execution plans.
• Only 23% of organizations feel confident in their ability to effectively execute strategies.
• Aligning projects with strategic goals increases the likelihood of meeting or exceeding project objectives by 40%.
• Companies with a well-defined and communicated strategy have a 57% higher likelihood of successfully implementing their strategies.
• 95% of employees in organizations with a well-communicated strategy understand their individual roles and contributions to overall strategic goals.
In this 50-minute master speaking session, participants will gain valuable insights into creating real business strategy, defining strategic goals and building a comprehensive plan to achieve them. Sustainable growth in any organization relies on the alignment and effective management of all business processes.

The road ahead may look a bit long and treacherous, but with the right fine-tuning, you can prepare your organization to miss the major bumps along the way and go the distance.

It also takes a look at characteristics of healthy arts organizations, demonstrates how to focus on what’s truly mission critical, assess the mission and financial effectiveness of programs and projects, and manage effectively so that projects achieve desired results. The presentation also reviews what funders look for when considering requests for support and what they’re saying about prospects for the near future.
