WHAT IS STRATEGIC PLANNING?
Strategic planning determines how a business can bring an ambitious vision to life by setting clearly defined long-term objectives, performance metrics, growth stages and operational infrastructure calibrated for current and projected competitive conditions. It also involves ongoing market analysis to anticipate either pivots required or contingency plans to address various scenarios. As your coach, I help founders define big yet viable milestone markers for capitalizing on organizational strengths while also accounting for obstacles amidst complex regional investment climates and target buyer evolutions here.
WHY DO BUSINESS OWNERS NEED A COACH TO HELP WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING?
Even highly seasoned leaders often struggle to extract themselves from turbulent day-to-day demands enough to develop innovative multi-year strategic plans aligned with rapidly emerging market opportunities. External advisors lend an objective, wide-angle perspective, asking provocative questions to uncover potential unseen barriers or transformative levers while also introducing growth frameworks vetted across global industries. As your outsider ally immersed in the innovation hubs of the Triangle, I bring an aerial view of the terrain needed to hone strategic focus beyond insular viewpoints.
WHAT ARE SOME KEY ELEMENTS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING?
While strategic planning frameworks should align with a company’s unique vision, values and offerings, proven plans evaluate certain key dimensions for balancing practical viability with ambitious visions. This includes a transparent assessment of current organizational capabilities, target buyer needs and underserved niches in a given landscape, competitive offerings and positioning, and projected 3-5 year goals across financing stages, revenue streams, operational infrastructure, marketing funnel evolution and team expansion.
After aligning findings across these elements with the founder’s intended impact, I create an agile map designed for fluid pivots when market conditions shift. This includes defining success metrics across departments enabling quick adjustments while still moving toward the north star. Plans should also designate focus areas if forced to choose between competing opportunities.
The Strategic Planning Process:
We begin by clarifying the current business baseline across offerings, operations, team bandwidth and financing vehicles to accurately map existing resources against founder visions. I guide you on conducting market research through surveys, focus groups with target demographics and comparative analyses to highlight addressable pain points demanding solutions. Integrating findings from capabilities and ecosystem insights, together we define goals and key results across milestones grounded in realities.
