Strategic Planning for Executive Teams

Strategic Planning Designed to Take Your Business in the Right Direction

Too often we see executive teams operate with no strategic plan in place, or their plan has too many initiatives that are not cascaded or communicated down into the organization properly.

Day to day operations seem to take precedence and as important as strategy is, it takes a back seat to getting operational needs met.

While there are a variety of ways to approach strategic planning, the most common is to take prior years objectives and update them. The problem with this method is you may be focusing on the wrong current strategic targets.

KerrHill’s ASR (Action Strategy Review) process eliminates the possibility of focusing on the wrong strategic goals.  It ensures C-suite executive teams set the right strategic targets based on current business pressure points, and subsequent goals and initiatives are aligned to address key challenges facing the business.

“As a result of implementing KerrHill’s ASR strategic planning process, we were able to effectively reach our top and bottom-line goals of 15% revenue growth and 15% bottom line profit within one year of implantation.” - Burton W.
