Strategic Planning and Implementation
Regardless of whether you are a large company that has the resources to assign a team to conduct the strategic planning for your organization or you are a small business that has limited human capital, there are advantages to bringing in an outside expert to facilitate this function. It is estimated that $37 billion is wasted per year in unnecessary or unproductive internal meetings. To avoid those typical think tank planning sessions from turning into your typical corporate meetings that are status quo, have no clear direction, and accomplish nothing of value, that is where a strategic planning consultant delivers value. Ms. Pennington knows the questions to ask and how to navigate the difficult discussion that many people try to avoid. It takes that “outsider” with a fresh perspective that is on neutral territory that can explore those difficult topics and ruffle some of the birds feathers that bring about the necessary change. Without exploration and change a company stumbles to find its clear path and can find its revenues stifling at a decreasing rate. For where there is no vision, the people parish… And the business will parish too!
