Dare to dream

Strategic Plan

With the current pandemic, Business as Usual (BAU) is not usual anymore. This is the age of disruption. Companies that survive – and thrive – are those that plan well and put smart bets for the future.

Strategic planning approach aims to sustain and increase company’s value while taking into consideration all internal and external factors affecting company development (competition, trends, technology, regulations, demographic change, company location, distribution or corporate assets, company pricing policy, etc.) are evaluated and vision, targets, main initiatives, and corporate level performance indicators are defined.

Have the Faith to Grow your Organization, not all companies perform the same in similar circumstances. Some companies outperform the industry, some even outperform the market. It only takes to dare to dream and to plan …. Strategic plans.

Why do you need Strategic Planning?

Business as Usual (BAU)

Strategic planning approach aims to sustain and increase company’s value while taking into consideration all internal and external factors affecting company development (competition, trends, technology, regulations, demographic change, company location, distribution or corporate assets, company pricing policy, etc.) are evaluated and vision, targets, main initiatives, and corporate level performance indicators are defined.

In Pinnacle, our objective in the context of strategic planning and corporate performance management is to support strategic decision-making and operational management processes by defining actions that are in line with the company’s strategy and determining key performance indicators (KPIs) and balanced scorecards. Initiatives, and corporate level performance indicators are defined.

Corporate Performance Management

In addition to growth, performance management helps keeping the focus on the critical targets composing a company’s strategy. For this reason, it is vital to define KPIs and balanced scorecards at all corporate levels and hierarchy in line with strategic targets.

Corporate Performance Management

When you and your team are in the middle of the action center it is really hard to have the strategic focus on your planning duties. Operational thoughts and daily activities take the strategic thoughts, dip your brain into the everyday dilemma; and this is why it is far better to have an external fresh  eye to see the big picture and has the needed strategic focus to be able to lead this with you. In Pinnacle we: 
  • Identify barriers in achieving the company’s objectives and developing an approach that allows the company to overcome obstacles.
  • Liaising with Management to gather information on challenges and objectives and following up on the implementation process.
  • To implement the annual operating plans, communicating the details to each subsidiary, e.g. marketing activities, branding, new project/ product initiatives etc. through close follow up with business heads.
  • During/ after implementation, evaluating whether the strategy is achieving the projected results via relevant and reliable performance measurements reports and strong key performance indicators. If performance is not aligned with projections, then planning additional initiatives.

Strategic Planning Consultation

Across large global organizations, Strategic Planning processes are often inconsistently and ineffectively performed, making centralization and standardization a significant opportunity to reduce costs.

In Small/Medium business, companies mistakenly think they are agile and can shift their plans anytime– if they have one in the first place. SMEs keep their plans in the head of the owner, founder, or the Managing Director, which are obviously not strategic plans, normally we hear dreams.
