CLOC consultants will support you in the creation of a strategic plan that engages your group, clearly outlines your unit’s destination, and opens new possibilities. Our processes:
- Demand bold thinking
- Consciously align with broader organizational goals
- Provide tangible outcomes
A solid process engages all members of the organization in its creation and implementation. As such, strategic planning is both a process and an outcome that can have substantial impact on the culture of an organization.
We do strategic planning in two ways:
Classic strategic planning
This approach is ideal for units with fairly structured hierarchies and results in a concrete planning document. This process considers the external environment and context; include the articulation or refinement of values, mission, and vision statements; and involves stakeholder analysis, input, and feedback. This is generally a longer, more complex process.
CLOC can be engaged in your strategic planning process at a number of levels from comprehensive project design and assistance to involvement in key portions such as stakeholder analysis/data gathering, or facilitation of small and large group interactions. Contact us to learn more.
We also offer strategic planning guidance, expert technical advice on starting or trouble-shooting your strategic planning effort. We provide 5 hours of consultation for $1,000. Payment is due prior to beginning our work together.
