W
HAT IS STRATEGIC PLANNING
?

Increasing competition, tight budgets, downsizing, and an aging workforce add significant complexity to defining and implementing an organizations strategy. TEAMCATAPULT 's approach goes beyond the planning process and addresses the often overlooked misalignment of strategy and execution. It focuses leadership and managers on clarifying direction, outcomes, and actions that will ensure enduring results for your organization. We believe that a well designed and well facilitated approach can make all the difference in the world, and we can help you with every step of the process from pre-work to action planning to implementation.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Successful strategic planning starts with the knowledge imbedded with the people in an organization. We approach strategic planning as a structured, collaborative process focused on specific outcomes. The goal is to educate and involve members of the organization in the vision for the future. With time, people in an organization will routinely make decisions within the framework of the organization's strategic vision and mission. Strategic planning then becomes an organizational norm, deeply embedded within the organization's decision-making process, and participants learn to think strategically as part of their regular daily activities. We tailor our standard approach to strategic planning to target the unique needs of the following types of organizations:

  • For-profit Strategic Planning - geared towards to the private sector organizations.
  • Non-profit Strategic Planning - geared towards the non-profit sector.
  • Government Agency - focused on public sector organizations that need to be GPRA compliant.
  • Technology and IT Strategic Planning - geared towards IT departments and technology focused organizations.

STRATEGIC PLANNING PACKAGES

Our Strategic Planning Packages are designed to meet three different levels of planning needs for organizations.

The Comprehensive Plan is thorough approach to the creation of your strategic plan. It includes an assessment of the organizations environmental factors and communication styles. During the workshops we will take your team from the Vision all the way down to the action plans.

The Standard Plan is a streamlined version of our Comprehensive Plan but requires your team to own more of the detailed action plan development. It includes a two day workshop and a half-day follow-up meeting in six months.

Our Quick Plan is targeted towards organizations that already have a solid plan in place, but may need a focused day off-site to review and validate their goals and objectives. This goal of this workshop is to create an outline that the group will be committed to expanding and executing.
