Data-driven organizations are better... Say Goodbye to Strategic Planning? What’s Next? We can all agree nothing is certain except death and taxes. Is it time for executives and teams to say goodbye to strategic planning?... Why do so many well-designed strategies fail to deliver results? Executive leaders are under more pressure than ever to make smart decisions, lead through change, and deliver results in a rapidly shifting environment. A strong strategy is no longer enough — the team must be aligned, engaged, and equipped to execute. Research consistently shows that only a small percentage of organizations successfully execute their strategy —not because the strategy is flawed, but because alignment erodes, communication breaks down, and leadership habits fail to support sustained execution. Performance gaps are rarely strategic failures. They are leadership and execution failures. Our services help teams move from debate to decision by maintaining focus on data and critical priorities. They surface differing perspectives, increasing the likelihood of broad team buy-in and accountability across functions. Our strategic services help you close that gap by focusing on the areas that matter most: Clear direction grounded in shared priorities Aligned leadership teams that communicate, collaborate, and take ownership Executable plans that connect decisions to measurable outcomes High-performance habits that sustain momentum over time The result? A leadership team that moves with clarity, collaborates effectively, and executes with confidence—even amid complexity and change. Our Approach to Strategic Services Our strategic services are grounded in evidence-based research on what actually drives successful execution. Rather than relying on a single model, we draw from proven strategic frameworks and tailor our approach to your organization’s culture, leadership dynamics, and business realities. The focus is simple: help leadership teams and boards think, act, and influence others to turn their desired future state and dreams into strategic actions, sustain momentum, and deliver results against future uncertainty. Process Challenges Framework Foresight Planning Appreciative Inquiry: We focus on identifying and building upon an organization's strengths and positive experiences. We believe organizations grow in the direction of what they repeatedly ask questions about and focus their attention. Appreciative Inquiry ensures we create a positive and empowering environment for strategic action. Strategic Foresight: We help clients explore possible futures to make better decisions today and navigate uncertainty and ambiguity. Making them more resilient and adaptive to potential change. It's not about predicting the future but preparing for mixed realities. Strategic Challenges: We fundamentally help lead change. Because culture shapes how people think, decide, and act, successful change requires leaders to intentionally design the beliefs, behaviors, and norms that drive performance. Strategic leaders must also navigate complexity and span boundaries, working across functions, levels, and geographies to align efforts and move the organization forward as one system. Scenario Planning: The purpose is to stress test strategies against highly important and likely realities so you can prepare and become future-ready. An organization's success depends on leaders having the right mindset. Since we are not able to predict the future, both learning and preparation are fundamental aspects of scenario planning. Strategic Process: We assess the internal and external environment to ground decisions in data, clarify mission, vision, and values to create shared direction, and identify the strategic drivers that matter most. From there, we translate priorities into an actionable business strategy, align talent and capabilities to support execution, and help teams execute, learn, and adapt—building momentum and results that last. Our Clients' Success in Strategic Planning Organizational Talent Consulting partnered with a state-wide Association to design a forward-looking strategic plan that reflects the evolving needs of its members and the industry. Through stakeholder interviews, member surveys, and a collaborative planning process, the Association clarified its priorities, strengthened alignment across its Board and leadership, and created a focused roadmap for the future. By integrating best-practice governance principles and fostering open, constructive dialogue, the Association is now equipped with a clear, actionable plan that supports long-term member value and organizational resilience. + SP Build a strategy your team believes in — and is ready to execute.

Creative strategies to solve worthwhile problems aligned with your business goals. In-Person Creative Thinking Approach problems in unconventional ways Creative strategies to solve worthwhile problems aligned with your business goals. About Innovation and creativity produce a competitive advantage. However, you may wonder if it is possible to develop your creativity and innovation capacity. A common argument presented in support of development is that if creative people were born, we would observe more consistency in creativity and little variability in invention among creative individuals. Studies have shown that creativity is influenced by cognitive skills, personality traits, work habits, and social-environmental variables. During this work shop, you will learn through experience how to use linear and intuitive creative thinkin g techniques to create new ideas for worthwhile b usi ness challenges. Who should attend? Leaders and managers who are curious about using creativity and innovation to spur growth and a competitive advantage. Leaders and managers who are skeptical of their ability or their team's competence to drive creativity and innovation. Why you want to learn it? Every business is vulnerable to threats. But too few businesses and leaders stop to consider the possibility of becoming irrelevant. Harnessing the potential of company growth takes well-equipped leaders. "If you believe that training is expensive, it is because you do not know what ignorance costs." Leboeuf Well-equipped leadership makes a difference. Here is how: Team Performance: Several research studies have investigated the connection between the leader and business performance. Studies have demonstrated that effective leadership improves follower performance and promotes higher business results, follower job satisfaction, and follower organizational commitment. Innovation and Creativity: Evidence suggests that leadership is essential for driving innovation in a company. A study involving over 400 executives from 48 companies connected strategy and innovation performance directly with good leadership habits. Trust and Change: Studies have demonstrated that the level of trust in leadership directly correlates to employee retention, organizational commitment, and support for organizational change. Furthermore, when executives build trust, evidence suggests that organizational change readiness increases. Internal Communication & Relationships: Words shape worlds. Studies have revealed that influential leaders enhance two-way communication, creativity, collaboration, job attitudes, and organizational commitment. Leadership Transitions: Leadership transitions, whether successful or not, are costly. Evidence suggests that, on average, 35% of internally promoted executives fail, and direct reports spend 10-20% of their time helping a new leader transition. Successful leadership transitions increase company revenue, have 13% lower attrition rates, and are 90% more likely to achieve long-term performance goals. Leadership development is a leadership transition acceleration tool. Want to personalize or bring Creative Thinking training to your business?

Driving creativity within an organization's culture is increasingly vital for leaders. A study by McKinsey revealed that companies with creative leaders outperformed peers by 67% in revenue growth, 70% in total returns to shareholders, and 74% in net enterprise value. Likewise, a lack of imagination constrains organizations. Kodak, Blockbuster, and Sears are well-known for the devastating consequences of innovation failure.

Any organization can move forward with small incremental changes, but building for the future in today's rapidly evolving environment means making bold changes.

Mckinsey and Company surveyed over 1,500 executives on their perceptions of change and concluded that most changes fail because only a third of the executives in the study indicated that changes were completely or mostly successful. No matter your perception of change, the reality of a fast-moving economy and complex business environment makes the "change problem" increasingly difficult. Change is complex, whether broad or incremental. Like running a successful marathon, the work begins well before the first steps of the race and before the visible aspects of a change take place.

Leaders who are seeing their downline managers struggle with engagement and performance in this new environment. HR leaders recognize that arguing over back-to-work policies is not reaching the desired results, and it’s time to implement better approaches in how to develop talent at their companies. Why you want to learn it? Every business is vulnerable to threats. But too few businesses and leaders stop to consider the possibility of becoming irrelevant. Harnessing the potential of company growth takes well-equipped leaders. "If you believe that training is expensive, it is because you do not know what ignorance costs." Leboeuf Well-equipped leadership makes a difference. Here is how: Team Performance: Several research studies have investigated the connection between the leader and business performance. Studies have demonstrated that effective leadership improves follower performance and promotes higher business results, follower job satisfaction, and follower organizational commitment. Innovation and Creativity: Evidence suggests that leadership is essential for driving innovation in a company. A study involving over 400 executives from 48 companies connected strategy and innovation performance directly with good leadership habits. Trust and Change: Studies have demonstrated that the level of trust in leadership directly correlates to employee retention, organizational commitment, and support for organizational change. Furthermore, when executives build trust, evidence suggests that organizational change readiness increases. Internal Communication & Relationships: Words shape worlds. Studies have revealed that influential leaders enhance two-way communication, creativity, collaboration, job attitudes, and organizational commitment. Leadership Transitions: Leadership transitions, whether successful or not, are costly. Evidence suggests that, on average, 35% of internally promoted executives fail, and direct reports spend 10-20% of their time helping a new leader transition. Successful leadership transitions increase company revenue, have 13% lower attrition rates, and are 90% more likely to achieve long-term performance goals. Leadership development is a leadership transition acceleration tool. Want to personalize or bring Building a Powerful Workforce Community to your business?
