Strategic Guidance

---

Strategic thinking and planning sound the same but are distinct (albeit) linked processes.  

Strategic thinking is a continuous process requiring introspection and analysis, critical thinking skills, collection and interpretation of data, and identification of where you want to go and what you want to achieve (goals and objectives).  Strategic planning is the identification of specific actions, initiatives and tasks required to achieve the goals and objectives.  The two work in conjunction to transform ideas into action.

Our strategic guidance services are designed to support you in both strategic thinking and strategic planning when it comes to government/stakeholder relations, governance, and the development of an overall integrated organizational strategic plan.  We can provide focus and structure to assist in;

• Issue identification, need for decisions and identification of impacted stakeholders - who this will affect (how and why)

• Impact of non-decisions

• Identification of key outcomes

• Pros and cons, risks and opportunities of decision

• Opposition to decisions

• Options analysis
