Operational Planning

Lead your team to success. Operational planning is an important process to embed in the culture, practice and systems toolbox of your organization. Operational plans allow everyone in the organization to see how operations align with strategic priorities and support leaders and managers to effectively execute against the goals and objectives which advance the organization’s mission. The process of operational planning strengthens leadership teams and helps leaders communicate across the entire organization. Operational plans support accountability and allow you to measure your success. Having worked with many organizations, we have developed proprietary tools and processes that can be introduced quickly.

Strategic planning is a participatory process that organizations undertake to define strategy, or direction, and make decisions on the allocation of resources to pursue this strategy. Strategic planning should be a dynamic process involving people/stakeholders internal and external to the organization. The process should scan the environment the organization operates in and assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. It should identify any strategic issues that need to be considered. Strategic planning helps an organization to remain relevant and responsive to the needs of its community and contributes to organizational health, stability and growth.
