Strategic Planning Workshop Competitive Edge Performance Solutions

Strategic Planning Workshop

Owner of Competitive Edge Performance Solutions, Rick Bickerstaff, enjoys helping corporations with strategic planning workshops. Many businesses do not take time to create a strategic plan. If you make time to practice this discipline, it will give you the competitive edge!

A strategic planning workshop should include important conversations with the team including:

Vision: An organization needs a vision. The vision focuses, motivates and inspires the organization’s staff to achieve greatness. When creating a new strategic plan, the company’s vision needs to be reviewed and updated for the current competitive environment.

Core Values: These are the ideals that define your organization. Companies driven by values achieve higher brand and business performance. Establishing or re-visiting your core values is essential during strategic plan development.

SWOT (Strengths – Weaknesses – Opportunities – Threats): The team will offer many valuable perspectives when identifying the company’s strengths and weaknesses. It is important to recognize and leverage your strengths. When a company leverages their strengths, they can reduce weaknesses, capitalize on opportunities and diminish threats.

After discussing these points and more, the company can begin creating a plan keeping in mind the Vision, Core Values and SWOT. Having an expert guide your team through developing and implementing your strategic plan in a strategic planning workshop will greatly benefit your organization!
