“John guided us through an intense, well-devised strategic planning process. The result was a clear, crisp document that we used for fundraising as well as strategic implementation.”
The Giraffe Strategy TreeSM is the core of the 2-day workshop.
It outlines The 5 Elements of Strategy essential for growth in any type of organization.
- Target Audience – Appropriately defining your audience ensures that you are maximizing resources attracting the people who want and need your services.
- Objectives – Strategic objectives are the big goals you seek to achieve with your plan.
- Promise – The most successful promises are short, memorable, compelling and doable.
- Projects – The tactical tasks developed to deliver your promise.
- Requirements – Ways to improve operating performance and ensure growth that is achievable and sustainable.
Three-Year Rolling Plan
Once the Strategy Tree has been drafted, it’s time to develop a 3-year rolling plan.
Each Strategic Initiative will have an implementation plan outlined for the next 3 years. Each initiative has at least one project, while each project has a measurable objective and deadline.
This is a great tool for regular review to keep implementation on track.
Business Case Workbook
After the 2-Day Strategy Workshop, the Giraffe Facilitator and your team complete a Business Case Workbook over the course of several weeks.
This workbook focuses on the planning details for projects and requirements. It consists of:
• 10 worksheets focused on expenses
• Resource requirements and timing for each initiative
• Revenue projections, ROI and timing
• Competitive reaction and risk analysis
Your Strategy Team
The key to a successful strategy is having an effective leadership team to develop strategy.
Ideally, the same team will be accountable for ensuring that the strategy is implemented, reviewed and kept on track.
