Strategic Business Consulting
Strategic Planning is a systematic process of establishing the direction of an organisation.
It provides a framework for looking at the bigger picture to determine where an organisation should prioritise its efforts in order to manage the future.
It involves a situational analysis to identify priorities; reviewing or developing a vision and mission; creating goals, objectives and action plans. A good strategic plan is a guide to making the best decisions for the organisation.
Pinnacle HR provides a number of Strategic Planning Services. These include:
• Facilitating strategic planning workshops and writing plans
• Developing community engagement plans
Business Planning
A Business Plan is a plan which provides detail on an organisation’s operations.
It may apply to a new business which needs to detail its operations in order to begin operating or an established business which needs to review its operational activities.
A Business Plan defines the goals and objectives of the organisation; describes its structure; specifies its products and services; the financial resources required; and its staffing requirements.
