Center for Strategic Planning Services


Our facilitators are dedicated to the prosperity of local businesses and nonprofits. We often find our neighboring organizations know the power of strategic planning, yet they struggle to create an actionable, meaningful plan. Our specialty is developing a personal relationship with you and your business, understanding your mission, and leveraging our unique Bridge to Better process to help you develop and implement a custom strategic plan specific to your vision and goals for future success.

 

The Bridge-to-Better Process

Building a Bridge to Better Graphic

Step 1: Define Your Purpose and Ambitions

A clear Mission and Vision Statement is vital for a successful strategic plan. Our experts will closely collaborate with your leadership and stakeholders to enhance these statements, ensuring they form a strong foundation for your new strategic plan.

Step 2: Gather and Analyze Essential Information

Our team will work closely with your organization's leadership to grasp your current situation and aspirations. We will gather feedback from your internal team and external customers/clients through SWOT analysis and anonymous surveys. This valuable information will be summarized by our facilitators and used to develop key components of your strategic plan.

Step 3: Plan for the Future in a Focused Retreat

On your roadmap to success, the "Bridge" is the essential structure where your mission and goals come together. Strategies, tactics, and resources are synchronized to overcome roadblocks and isolate bottlenecks. Assemble your team and join our facilitators for a full-day planning retreat to shape your business future. Held at one of USCB's campus locations, with catering by Aramark, our planning retreats commence with a team-building exercise, then using the gathered information and our expertise, we will collaboratively lay the foundation for your strategic plan.

Summary

After completing the three steps, our team will provide you with a comprehensive summary of your strategic plan and a workbook clearly outlining your plan elements and implementation responsibilities.
