Strategic Planning Services Description

Orion Development Group’s approach to strategic planning engagements is rooted in the methodology we teach at respected institutions throughout the country.

Per this methodology, a fully developed and executable strategy must contain the following:

• Clear Mission & Vision, including tangible statements of what success looks like
• Strategic Objectives based on a balanced assessment of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOTs)
• Strategy Map that illustrates the interrelationship and interdependencies between objectives
• List of strategic initiatives that must be executed to realize strategic objectives and organization Vision
• Mechanism (the Balanced Scorecard) to manage and monitor strategic progress
