Strategy

The outcome of an effective strategy is a plan that aligns and inspires people, teams and organisations. A great strategy becomes the common filter and guidance mechanism for decision making at all levels of the organisation. Catalyst’s approach to strategy facilitation ensures engagement of significant stakeholders within the organisation to agree medium / long term direction and purpose.

Organisations are often at different levels of sophistication in the development of their strategy. Catalyst will begin by understanding any existing plans and processes and then work with you to design a strategic planning session/s that achieves specific and agreed outcomes. Typical components of a strategic planning facilitation include:

Understanding the key drivers of strategy:

• Developing a mission, vision, strategic position and organisational goals
• Agreeing cross functional initiatives
• Determining performance metrics
• Implications for the Leadership of the organisation
