Boards and business leaders have to do many things on a day to day basis. But developing a strategic plan is the most important task for any board and CEO. Most significant and complex businesses find value in using the services of an independent facilitator. DWS has a team of facilitators, each with specialist skills and experience to draw out the very best from the strategic planning forum.

DWS has a range of planning options, from a one day “fast plan” to a more exhaustive and complete two-day planning process. The elements of the plan include:

• Definition of the mission and vision for the operation
• Determining the values and culture
• Reviewing sector best practice and trends
• Undertaking and assessing surveys of the directors
• Undertaking demographic, competitor and SWOT analyses
• Review of financial and operational performance to determine capital and borrowing capacity
• Definition of the key business advantages, critical issues and future needs
• Develop formal action plan
• Ascertain review processes

DWS strategic planning consultants work alongside key stakeholders to define the vision, adopt a unified direction, assist to develop strategies and increase accountability to enable orientated results to be achieved in a dedicated time frame. All strategic planning programs are customised to suit the individual needs of the client. Ask us for a formal proposal or simply discuss the process us.
