Strategic Planning Consulting

Strategic Planning Consulting

We help our clients build a strong strategic foundation by designing and managing creative, collaborative strategic planning processes. The result is clarity of business purpose, well-understood values, and a compelling vision for the future, coupled with goals.

Building on that foundation, we assist clients in defining business objectives, actions and timetables, tied to financial projections and budgets. We work closely with the chief executive and the executive team during this process. Often we are called upon to facilitate decisions by boards of directors, senior managers, employees, and other groups. The result is a business plan that the client owns and is ready to implement.

Strategic Planning White Papers

LRI offers several white papers associated with our five practice areas. Choose a Strategic Planning white paper below or view the full list.

  • Strategy Mapping: Accelerating Business Success
    Strategy mapping offers an approach to defining vision and strategy that is well-suited to organizations undergoing—or anticipating—major change as the result of either internal or external forces (e.g. industry change, technological change, competitive change). This method builds business resilience by helping organizations dynamically chart the best course through uncertain and potentially dangerous waters.

  • Streamlined Strategic Planning
    Streamlined strategic planning enables organizations to focus quickly on highly desired outcomes and target strategies to achieve them. It’s not comprehensive; rather, it corrals leaders and trains them to focus on the most significant opportunities.

Examples of our success vary widely. We've helped Fortune 500 companies develop and implement changes in their business models that resulted in significant growth. We've helped public organizations develop strong strategic plans and balanced scorecards. We've helped non-profit organizations achieve significant breakthroughs in performance by aligning their boards of directors and executive teams around a clear vision and measures of success.

"LRI is outstanding! Eric Douglas led the Sacramento Ballet through a challenging project of developing its first-ever comprehensive written strategic plan at a critical junction in the history of the organization. Eric's leadership skills were superb as he worked to enlist the support of all stakeholders and facilitated discussions that allowed the organization to put into words its hopes and dreams for the next several years, while helping the project team remain focused on keeping the objectives realistic, achievable and measurable. I highly recommend LRI without any reservation." - Robert Slater, Jr, MD, FACS, President, Board of Directors
