Strategy Development
Strategy is not the same as a strategic plan.
Organisations often confuse strategy with strategic planning. The two go hand in hand but in order to have a good strategic plan you must first set the strategy.
Strategic Planning
A strategic plan looks at all the things your business could do and narrows it down to the things it must do to flourish.
Encourage big-picture thinking and guide your organisation to a better future.
