Strategic Planning

Every organization has goals it aims to accomplish – both short and long term. The question is whether you are developing the right long-term goals and short-term tactics to achieve them. The best way to ensure you are enacting large scale organizational change in a deliberate and systematic way is within the framework of a strategic plan. At Wedgewood Group, we pride ourselves on helping organizations construct strategic plans that marshal the skills and talent already found in your organization to move it in the right direction. Incorporating a collaborative approach, we help you ‘develop the plan’, ‘plan the work’ and then ‘work the plan’. As a dedicated and trusted partner, we work with you to execute every action item in your strategic plan to ensure that the organization remains on target to meet each of the goals and objectives you have deemed critical for success.

Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment, in which we use our proprietary tools and processes, to understand both the internal and external environments of your organization. We then conduct an interactive, comprehensive leadership planning session – during which we work with you to define your organization’s mission, vision, values, core competencies and long-term strategies.

Once a strategic framework has been established, we conduct smaller, similar planning sessions with all segments of your organization in order to collaborate with team members on all levels. This comprehensive approach enables you to create a detailed and effective “roadmap” of goals and objectives to best execute your strategic plan, inserting checkpoints to ensure that each activity is on path to reach the goal(s) you have set.

Most importantly, we closely monitor the performance of the strategic plan through the use of measurement tools such as scoreboards and scorecards. We carefully examine how well the organization is delivering on predefined objectives and metrics – building momentum on your organization’s successes while fixing the areas where benchmarks are not being achieved.

At Wedgewood Group, we distinguish ourselves not only in our ability to create well conceived strategic plans, but more importantly, in our ability to help organizations execute them.
