Strategic planning is essential to set direction for a company and map out goals that will enhance its performance. JSI can facilitate or play a lead role in helping you develop your company's strategic plan through organizational assessments to gain insight into daily operations or by facilitating formal meetings and planning sessions.

As an integral part of the planning process, and as needed, we help clients conceptualize and develop their mission statement, vision of the future, and strategic goals. We also help craft action plans tied to specific company needs and service objectives. These strategic planning sessions usually take place over two days and can involve the owners or Board of Directors exclusively, or be designed to include management and key staff.

Planning sessions are fully customizable, but normally cover organizational structure, network and regulatory considerations, essential resources, competitive positioning/marketing and technology/network evolution.

Strategic planning is equally vital for cooperatives and commercial companies. The outcome of the sessions can be as brief and to the point as a summary report and as comprehensive as a full analysis and goals assessment. Our reports include the strategic plan and components, mission statement and core values, key goals and objectives (both short and long term), and operational targets and objectives.

We can also help you take the plan the next step to implementation with cross-functional teams, action plan development, strategies for business plans and business maximization, and monitoring and follow-up tools.
