Having served dozens of natural & organic product brands as well as environmental and educational nonprofits, we help you avoid these pitfalls:
- 60% of companies don’t tie financial budgets to their strategic priorities
- Businesses with a plan are far more likely to get funding than those that don’t
- 29% of fast-growing companies lack strategic plans, business plans, or similar long-range planning tools
Strategic & Business Planning is more than a goal -- it is a process!
Let us take the reins and help you ideate, design, and implement a strong, values-centric business or strategic plan, and tackle problems with viable solutions along the way.
