Strategic Planning Platform
Projex IMC has completed over 100 strategic/business plans with industrial companies. Our consultants have extensive experience with every aspect of an industrial business, from sales and marketing to operations, supply chain, engineering, IT and human capital management. Based on this organizational experience and functional skills, Projex IMC has built a cloud-based, intuitive Strategic Planning Platform.
Our Strategic Planning Platform is designed to help you onboard your strategy development team, analyze your current (as is) situation, develop a winning strategy and identify/prioritize projects that can help drive your organization toward its desired (to be) objectives.
The ProjexTeam™ Strategic Planning Platform includes all of the collaboration and communication tools available in our Sales/Partner Portal. We then add tools and templates to facilitate the entire strategy development and business planning process … step-by-step.
Key steps in the strategic planning process include:
Onboarding your team …
Every member of the strategy team, whether internal or external, must have confidence in the capabilities and commitment of leadership and other key members of the team. The team’s objectives, composition and commitment — as well as the role of each member of the team — must be clear to everyone involved.
Define a winning business strategy …
A winning strategy is a plan to acquire, develop and preserve a compelling competitive advantage in one or more profitable and/or growing served markets, with a clearly defined value proposition. This strategy must be supported by operational capabilities that can sustain and defend the desired market position.
Developing a strategic plan …
Your strategic plan should define the business (its mission, vision, scope of supply and served markets), summarize the expectations of ownership (investment thesis, cash/credit requirements, risk tolerance and capital structure) and identify clear opportunities for achieving the above.
Defining projects …
Strategic business development projects serve as a catalyst for change. These projects are investments in the business and should be designed to improve competitiveness, improve business performance or otherwise achieve clearly defined objectives.
Our Strategic Planning Platform is designed to help your organization achieve sustainable growth and profitability through the development and implementation of a winning business strategy. With a clearly defined strategy, the management team has a solid basis for identifying and prioritizing high-impact investments (projects) to make your strategy a reality.
