Strategic Planning
Good is the enemy of great. Focusing your operations strategically empowers teams to deliver the results that multiply business value.

Every successful organization understands the importance of a clear strategy, but statistics show two-thirds of strategic initiatives never make it to implementation.

Harvard Business Review reports the average ROl on most strategic planning initiatives is 34 percent or less, while Kaplan & Norton found 90 percent of organizations fail to successfull implement their strategies.

That’s why OneAccord approaches strategic planning as a process, not an event. To us, success means a good outcome, not just a good plan.

Why do you need strategic planning?

The Economist found 61 percent of companies underperform at key strategic activities due to poor execution. Facilitated planning promotes team alignment by empowering outside perspectives and adding seasoned expertise to the team without increasing headcount.

A clear, strategic plan improves speed to implementation, but not at the expense of running day-to-day operations. .

We deliver timely guidance to companies of varied sizes at prices they can afford. .
