Strategic planning is a continuous process that enables the company to define the best direction to be pursued for each of its strategic business units (SBUs) and allocate the necessary resources for such pursuit. The implementation of the strategy is also part of strategic planning.
Our Approach
The company strategy needs to be periodically reviewed, because of the changes of the markets and of the competition. The key element of a strategic plan is the definition of a clear mission, identifying the profile of the organization, who it serves, what it does and how, with a focus on the future. Strategy planning does not only have to do with setting and achieving business goals. It also creates clarity, alignment and organization-wide commitment.
