Strategic Planning: Solutions and Tools

Too many organizations have had bad experiences with planning. MedTrend believes planning is critical to high performance and knows what it takes to make it have real value to the organization. Our planning model and processes are built from the following critical findings:

Data, not opinions should drive strategy development.
All key stakeholders must be involved in the process.
High performance comes from strategic CLARITY and FOCUS.
You get what you measure, not what you expect or hope for.

Each planning engagement involves “diagnosing” the needs of the organization, and identifying the right set of planning tools that will meet the job. We have expertise in multiple tools, including the Shell Oil methodology of scenario planning, the Good to Great approach to clarifying the mission and vision, and Balanced Scorecard measurement tools. In general our process identifies the right tool to complete the process and result in a clear mission, vision and set of strategic goals for the organization.
