Anchorage, AK – Strategic Planning for Architects | Business Coaching News

A strategic plan is a resourceful approach to accomplishing goals for any business. A strategic plan is a blueprint with instructions and information to achieve company goals of improvement in productivity, time management, team management, competitiveness, sustainability, or sales.

As an architect, your blueprint is valued and central to planning and completing building projects – a strategic plan acts as a blueprint to plan and achieve your business growth and development goals.

Working with a certified business coach to create a strategic plan will ensure the confidence of all stakeholders and instill confidence with the use of action and performance plans, time constraints to accomplish your goals on time, check-ins to track progress, and more using a concise, cost-effective, efficient, and time-saving resource to achieve business goals.

How Strategic Planning Is Critical to Achievement

A strategic plan incorporates goals of business development, time management, team management, budgeting, completing objectives with subcontractors, and more while keeping track of progress and deadlines. We assess the internal and external strengths and areas needing improvement to determine what goals cultivate growth and create a plan to achieve those goals.

Elements of a Strategic Plan

• I assess your previous business goals and identify the areas of success, stagnancy, or decline.
• I use financial assessments to determine where your organization sits compared to the benchmark and top 10 percent of your industry.
• I assess your organization’s purpose, mission, vision, and values to determine your progress and status in occupying that position in the market.
• I conduct a SWOT analysis: we will identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats surrounding the goal to create purposeful objectives conducive to goal achievement.
• We will create action and performance plans and business activity schedules to complete objectives.
• Only the most necessary resources will be defined in the plan, reducing complexity and additional expenses.
