Our Approach

Our unique approach to strategic planning facilitation

At Strategic Solutions Limited, we specialize in guiding organizations through a comprehensive strategic planning process. Our approach is meticulously designed to unfold in five key components to ensure a thorough and impactful planning experience.

1. The Management Briefing (4 hours)

The management briefing meeting aims to identify the organisation's critical issues, provide a briefing on our approach to strategic planning facilitation, and gain the management team's buy-in to proceed, which will set a solid foundation for the planning process..

2. Situational Analysis (4 hours)

Before the first strategy session, planning team members will conduct a situational analysis. It will consist of a detailed assessment of the organisation's current situation from multiple viewpoints. It will be used extensively throughout the planning process and even more so during the SWOT analysis.

3. Off-Sight Full-Day Planning Sessions (16 hrs.)

Day 1: We address, "Where are we now?" and "Where do we want to be?"

Day 2: We answer the questions; "How will we get there?" and "How will we monitor our progress?"

In the two full-day sessions we will collaboratively define your organization’s current state, the desired future, and the roadmap to achieve your goals.

4. Action Planning Session (4 hours)

This step is to review the developed plan with the staff and to initiate action plan development. This is an important element of the process, as your team's engagement in the planning process will ensure alignment and understanding among the staff.

5. Final Review and Implementation (4 hours)

This step finalizes and approves the action plans, which sets the stage for effective implementation. The result is a ready-to-execute strategic plan with clear action items and a commitment to success.
