Strategic planning can make or break the sustainability of your business and/or organization. I take a capability building approach to strategic planning - focusing on educating the organization on business strategy fundamentals and building out strategic planning processes that are tailored to the organization and the people within the organization. The goal is to create suitable action plans that the business can adopt and operate on long after my consultations. 

If you need to create your strategic plan from scratch, enhance your organizations strategic planning capabilities, develop a long-term transformation strategy, or want to run innovative/creative strategic planning workshops. I can help set you up for success. I apply growth hacking and marketing knowledge to make sure the strategic plan is aligned with the future vision of the organization. 

Having worked for dozens of international clients, both in the Fortune 500 world and start-up environments, I have developed methodologies and models for helping companies understand and execute on their strategic planning needs. I have developed many models and templates that allow me to work efficiently and effectively. Having worked with international organizations, I have successfully delivered strategic planning projects in other languages. I have experience in multiple industries including technology, public sector, marketing, non-profits, energy & resources, manufacturing and cannabis. 

I have a background in process engineering and experience working in very technical environments which has fostered a data centric approach where business decisions are based on logical and data driven objectives.  

Often times when working on clients, I find other gaps and opportunities that the organizations might not even know they had. I like to add extra value in my projects by recognizing these opportunities and remaining flexible to make sure that I am delivering on what will help my client succeed the most. I take a very honest and open approach when working with clients, making sure there are adequate touch-points, status updates and consultation sessions. My deliverables are always designed to fit brand, visually aesthetic and user friendly.

Some of my expert areas are:

• Organization brand/strategy alignment
• Strategic planning development 
• Strategic alignment workshops
• Market research and growth strategies 
• Competitor assessment and product/service offering assessments
• Core values, objectives and initiatives building
• Start-up business "roll-out" action plans

Previously a strategic management consultant for Deloitte (one of the largest and most reputable international management consulting firms) where I was being billed out at ~$200US/hour. I am now taking a more entrepreneurial approach to my craft. 

I look forward to learning about your organization/business and helping you take the next step towards success!
