Strategy

Culture will always trump an undefined strategy

Back to SCAN™ Overview

Building an action plan to go from now to next

What does success look like? Does everyone know the goal? Do you have a system for vetting out ideas?
 
Strategy is defined as a plan, method or series of maneuvers for obtaining a specific goal or result.  Too often, we find that organizations gets so caught up in the actual maneuvers versus the plan that strategy provides, that tactics, culture and ideas derail the results. Our approach to strategic planning is grounded in a synergy between culture and strategy, so that culture becomes the filter for ideas and a mechanism for accountability to agreed-upon strategic goals.
We also partner with organizations who have a robust and specifically-defined strategic vision, but may need a boost in documenting processes or coming up with the next idea.  Wakeen & Company has trained facilitators and innovative thinkers to partner with you at any stage of your business.
