Strategic Planning

    Question: What proven process should Executives use to identify and make their
                    perfect strategic choices? 

    Answer: The BCS 8 Steps To Perfect Business Strategies™ program 

    The Benefit:  Your team shares ownership of the strategic choices made - and 
                     their consequent implementation 

A business strategy is a map that guides you to your desired destination. Selecting that destination - where you want to go - depends on choices you may or may not make. This BCS program will help your team determine the best options for strategic choices and their consequences. The BCS 8 Steps To Perfect Business Strategies™ is a program for the rigorous examination of “where you are and where you want to be” - and how best to get there.

• elaborate the current pressure points facing the business, to assess their significance and their likely impacts, then
• create the common vision of the strategic responses in each of those areas should be, followed by
• setting 12-month targets towards reaching the common vision - and
• agree the who/when/costs associated with the implementation of the 12-month plan.

Schedule:  a two-day off-site workshop, facilitated by a BCS Coach through a journey of the 8 steps. 
                Followed by regular facilitated implementation meetings.

Facilitation: the role of and need for a coach to help make this happen

    Paradoxically, whilst the group most able to frame strategic direction for the business is the executive team, but – due to the day-to-day pressures - the team members least likely to keep focussed on them may also be the members of that team. 
    The continuing role of the coach is therefore paramount: someone who can be trusted with knowing the agreed plans, but who has objectivity about the progress towards it. ‘Accountability’ to your BCS Coach for the serious business of implementation, of achieving the agreed goals, helps overcome the day-to-day obstacles
