Strategic & Succession Planning

Strategy Development

We work with you and your team to identify the challenges that stand in your way, opportunities to pursue, and help you craft a plan that will take you from where you are now to where you want to be. Our ability to engage employees is the key to our success in conceptualizing and formalizing ideas for the plan. Together, we will:

  • Develop a shared vision of the future and summarize it into key themes
  • Understand the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of the business
  • Outline the core competencies of your team, products, and operational capabilities that comprise the Unique Value Proposition (UVP) which sets you apart from competitors
  • Use the Balanced Scorecard methodology to ensure all aspects of the business are included, finances, customers, process, and people
  • Prioritize areas of focus — the key goals for performance and improvements needed over the next 12 months
  • Translate priorities into S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable actionable, results oriented, time bound) goals
  • Establish a periodic reporting and follow-up method that keeps those goals on track

 

Strategy Implementation

We provide you with a Strategic Plan Map to facilitate team communication, make it easier to chart organizational progress, and keep all employees moving in the same direction (in lieu of a 3-ring binder that sits on a shelf). For companies with limited resources, or desire assistance with implementation, we can also be part of your implementation team.

SUCCESSION PLANNING

As a business owner, exiting successfully means the company is well positioned for continued stability or growth, and the outgoing owners have enough to financially exit and live the life they desire.

NWIRC connects companies with the appropriate regional advisor to ensure a smooth transition and better understanding of:

  • components of a good succession plan
  • how and when to transition out of your company
  • importance of estate and financial planning for an exit strategy
  • family dynamics and the need for outside management or other options
  • your company’s benchmark, value, and future stability

“While our management team at Peters’ Heat Treating, Inc. has always been actively committed to updating strategic plans, we find it extremely important for an outside consultant to investigate and analyze our business to ensure that we are realistic with our vision and goals. The project with NWIRC was seamless and the deliverables met all expectations. We look forward to working with them in future years to assist in our continued business success.”
