The Seven Questions®

Effective strategic planning begins with answering the most fundamental business questions. Have you considered these questions in your planning?

 

Business Decision Matrix

Most businesses are faced with multiple opportunities and it’s hard to choose the strategies that are best. How do you evaluate alternatives for the best fit?

 

Content Process Model

Sometimes even the right strategies don’t seem to get the impact you want. How can your strategic planning achieve the results you are seeking?

 

Progression Planning

It’s time for a new organizational design and for taking a look at who is ready to advance. How do you match the needs of the firm with the interests of managers?

Strategic Intent

Mission, vision, values, and goals must be clear and compelling. How do you communicate these in a way to ensure teamwork and commitment?

 

Strategic Equity

The market valuation of your firm is not just based on net income. What else should you consider to create the highest value possible?

 

Organizational Alignment

From organizational structure to incentive compensation, there seems to be a lot to consider. How do you integrate all the components for the best impact?

 

Performance Measurement

It’s no wonder that performance reviews are as feared as giving a speech. How can you objectively measure the right stuff and create an easy-to-use system?

Critical Issues Management

Threats or opportunities that pose a substantial impact are issues that could make or break your business. How can strategic planning help resolve issues?

 

Strategy Alignment

Now that you have your strategic intent, the work has only just begun. How do you ensure all functions are aligned with your new direction and goals?

 

Leadership Assessment

Your executives seem ready to take on new responsibilities. How do you objectively assess the existing leadership talent in your company?

 

Decision Making Modes

Employees are always requesting clearer methods for decision making. How do you clarify whose input is required and how to keep the right people informed?
