Is everyone clear and aligned as to where the organization is headed?

It used to be that strategic planning was something to be dreaded (like getting a root canal - sorry to any dentists out there)!  And many of the leaders I have worked with tell me that their strategic plans are overly complex, excessively long and, worst of all, not used on a regular basis to inform decisions. Often fancy plans sit up on shelf collecting dust. But it does not have to be that way.

Catherine Hambley, Ph.D. brings the fun, excitement and engagement back into strategic planning by helping organizations and teams develop an easy-to-understand and easy-to-communicate concise plan that connects people around a common purpose.
Welcome to the One-Page Strategic Planning process with its 6 key elements:
  • ​Mission - why we exist
  • Vision - what we are building for our future
  • Strategic Priorities - what we need to do to achieve our vision
  • Action Plans - how we will execute on our strategies
  • Targets - our metrics of success and
  • Core Values - what we stand for; the behaviors we will encourage (and those we will discourage)

Strategic planning provides clarity and alignment for success
The strategic planning process becomes a wonderful opportunity to create cohesion and collaboration, as everyone clearly understands how their success is tied to the success of the organization.

We incorporate accountability and ensure follow-through (by developing a dashboard and action planning spreadsheet); it provides clarity of roles and expectations; and it aligns everyone to work towards an inspiring vision. The primary objective is to have a user-friendly plan that guides decisions and behaviors so that the organization is set up for success.
