Strategic Growth Planning

Strategic growth planning

Where do you want your brand to be in 5 years? Growth planning isn’t just about positive thinking–it’s about creating a comprehensive road map to where you want your company to be to promote the future success of your business.

We’ll help you make sure that the work you’re doing now is strategic and aligns with your long-term goals.

What is a Strategic Growth Plan?

Unlike a business plan that you set up to launch a business and that includes five- and 10-year projections, planning for growth depends on short “sprints” of action in quick succession over 1-2 years at most. By staying with a 90-day strategic cycle, your plan remains relevant and has the ability to adapt to the fast-paced changes in the market.

Execution of your plan should be lean and agile. Feed lessons you’ve learned in any 90-day sprint back into your next planning session. Use your sprint’s information for the next to promote the forward growth of your brand.

Tracking the growth of your brand along with the expansion of your customer base is easier than ever with a growth plan behind your business. You can use a strategic growth plan to grow your business and increase revenues by focusing your efforts on the value your customers can see.

Finally, a strategic growth plan must include steps to differentiate your brand from your competition. Identify your customer’s needs and meet them, then go the extra mile. What makes your brand so special? How are you going to get that information out to your potential customers?

How to Create a Strategic Growth Plan

Pull out your company’s business strategy plan and strike out everything that isn’t directly related to customer-perceived relevance and value. Compress it into a 12-month plan, set goals for the first 90 days, and add achievable goals for fast implementation.

That’s it—you’ve made your first growth plan!

Of course, the strategic planning process is not quite as simple as that. Your strategic growth plan should identify your professional goals and indicate which strategies have been set in place in order to achieve them. Your plan should connect your business goals and chosen strategies with actions that directly impact on clients.

Focus narrowly on revenue generation and organic expansion through value-to-customer KPIs (key performance indicators). You can set benchmarks and visualize your growth plan by identifying Point A and Point B for your company:

Current State: What are your current revenues, and how big is your customer base? Make a list of all of your resources and assets.
Future State: Where do you want to be in 1-2 years? List the resources and goals that you want to achieve by a specific time to build a solid plan of action.
