Strategic Planning Consulting

Developing a clear roadmap to help a business achieve its growth aspirations

Most big businesses have a strategic plan. Often small to medium enterprises (SMEs) do not.
There is no doubt that it is good business practice to have a strategic plan. This plan is like a
roadmap to help a business reach a growth destination in by taking the shortest route. Without
one the business may achieve its goals but may take a lot longer, and it may spend more, to
achieve it.
SMEs often don’t because they:

• are too busy running the day to day operations of the business;
• don’t have the internal expertise to create one;
• they think that a Strategic Plan takes days to create;
• think it will be a very large document that is placed in a filing cabinet to never be
  reviewed;
• think it will be very expensive; or
• actually do not know how to go about creating one

Many of our SME clients have engaged our Professionals to help them create their Strategic
Plan. As a result we now offer this as a separate business service.

Fifth Eagles Strategic Planning service

The average Fifth Eagle Strategic Plan:

• involves a one day, or less, commitment to its creation (dependent on business size);
• is no more than a three page plan;
• is a living document to be reviewed against and revisited on at least a quarterly basis;
• is fit for purpose ie appropriate for the size of the business it is for; and
• is cost effective in what can be an expensive market place.
