Strategic and
Business Planning
Ascent can provide your team with the training to equip them to
engage in a meaningful planning process. We can also
take this a step further and facilitate the process, and
even draft the plan document itself.
Planning Process Development
Planning is a process. It is like a journey. It is
possible to go through the process of developing a plan
without a road map, but as with a journey, it is more
efficient and rewarding knowing both the destination and
the route ahead of time.
Ascent can work with company management to determine the best
course of action for your company to take in developing
your plans. The process will be tailored to meet your
needs.
Plan Development Training
Ascent has decades of experience in developing and implementing
successful plans. Learning fundamental concepts can
make the process of planning more productive for your
team, and will facilitate more independent planning
efforts in the future. Training can cover:
-
Planning basics
-
Defining terms for common understanding
-
Options for the planning process
-
Key components of a typical plan
-
Plan formats
-
Roles in the development of the plan
-
Inter-relationships between different plans in the
same company
-
Integration of the plan into the corporate culture
-
Implementation of the plan
-
Monitoring plan results and redirecting
-
Reward mechanisms
Planning Process/Planning Meeting Facilitation
Professional, external facilitation of the plan development
processes allows the management team to focus their energies
on generating great ideas and producing a great plan because
someone else is keeping the process moving and on track.
Ascent’s experience and training takes what is a
sometimes mystical and amorphous process and turns it into a
tangible and practical planning process.
Plan
Authoring/Drafting
After the planning process is developed and the planning
meeting is over, at some point someone has to put pen to
paper and produce a document for the rest of the planning
team to review. This is both a science and an art. Ascent’s expertise and objectivity allows us to
provide this draft, and subsequent versions, rapidly and
cost-effectively.
Whether you want Ascent to supply the training to equip your
team to plan effectively, or you want us to guide you
through the whole planning process, we would be honored to
work with you to develop an approach that meets your
specific circumstances.
