Strategic Business Planning Company's Products and Services
Strategic Business Planning Company (SBP) excels in assisting organizations with developing various type of strategic planning tools. Research has shown, and our experience has demonstrated, that the process of developing a (strategic) plan may be even more important than the plan itself. For this reason, we work intensely on the planning process in order to assure the best possible “plan”, given all constraints. The plan must be one that can be successfully implemented. But, even more important than the single plan produced today is the long-term improvement in the organizations strategic planning processes.
The following table shows the strategic planning tools that SBP can help you develop as well as the intermediate processes that might be employed in order to develop your plan.
Business Plan for small and startup businesses |
||
|
The most common planning tool for
startup and very small businesses is a Business Plan. In such a
small-company business plan, all of the planning components (such as
the Marketing Plan) are integrated into the Business Plan.
|
||
Strategic Business Plan for larger and high-tech organizations |
||
|
For larger organizations, we propose
developing a high-level Strategic Plan (StratPlan) followed by business
plans for each major division or line of business. There should always
be a specialized division plan for the Information Systems area (SIS
Plan) and for organizations with substantial intellectual property (IP
Plan).
|
||
Intellectual Property Plan (IP Plan) |
||
|
New product development of any type requires very carefully planned, integrated, long-term planning. The IP Plan integrates the planning process and the product pipeline with patent protection and sustainable competitive advantage. SBP's COMPASS™ methodology identifies the best ways to commercialize technologies and the incremental steps to achieve maximum value realization. There is increased pressure on R&D and product managers to demonstrate return on investments. |
|
|
Strategic Information Systems Plan (SIS Plan) |
||
|
The SIS Plan creates a special departmental plan for Information Systems that carefully aligns the corporate goals to the systems development and its capabilities. The SIS Plan works best when higher-level planning has already been undertaken (StratPlan). It requires a careful engagement of the rest of the organization in order to align the systems and processes with the current and future requirements of the organization. |

Scenario Plan & Delphi Method Planning (blog) |
||
|
Scenario planning provides the ability to plan for the long-term (Horizon Planning) and for exceptional events. Planning for scenarios affords businesses the ability to develop contingencies for various progressions of the future. Scenarios are developed for deflection points in the future. Although one or more scenarios might include disasters and disaster recovery plans (DRPs), scenarios are much more than that. Plans for break-through technology will be created, including initiatives to be the company that invents it. The Delphi
Method
of using teams and groups for planning can very effectively be utilized
in all strategic planning efforts, especially scenario and
sustainability plans. |

Sustainability Plans & Green Innovation (blog) |
||
|
The sustainability plan will typically
be
developed in segments; however, it will always start with some type of
an assessment (a Sustainability Audit) and the initiation of
sustainability measures of resources (starting with energy and water
utilization) and emissions (grey water, black water, CO2, etc.). Supply
chain and impact associated with the customers, must be addressed. By
definition, all consumers, governments and businesses must eventually
become sustainable. Moving
toward sustainability is a process that starts first with a plan to
develop a plan. |
