The Corporate Learning Institute Announces Expanded Strategic Planning Consulting Services

Lisle, Illinois, April 21, 2010. Before it can be a foregone conclusion that corporate strategic planning does not work, the Corporate Learning Institute (CLI) of Lisle has developed a new series of services designed to help organizations tackle what they call “the new normal”.

Susan Cain, CLI President, offers these insights into effective strategic management. “First of all”, she notes, “Organizations are focusing on shorter horizons than ever before. They are often developing multiple horizons to deal with the many business scenarios that could affect their future. So most clients are fully engaged in tragic development, but in different ways,” she stated.

A solid direction in an organization is paramount to its long-term sustainability. With direction, key goals can be achieved, productivity can soar, and people will better understand their roles in the organization. However, how do you create that plan in order to move forward? Corporate strategic planning can help you to create your vision and goals for the future. This planning, usually done by senior level management, can shape the future for many years to come. To create this planning, there are several things that you can do. First, it is important that leaders have the skills necessary to meet and effectively plan the company’s goals. For those organizations that are looking to develop those skills for their leaders, leadership development training is an excellent way to create, develop, and optimize those skills. Once leaders are aligned, it is often easier for them to take on the importance collaborative work of planning their strategy.

Next, hiring a Corporate Strategic Planning Consultant can also help an organization by providing a fresh pair of eyes to consider strategic options. For example, consultants can play a key role in breaking out of groupthink and striking new and innovative directions for a given company. CLI starts any strategic engagement by conducting a needs assessment, then moving the organization toward effective approaches in rethinking their vision, mission values, strategic objectives and approach. Corporate strategic planning is an essential part of any organization and with the right tools and preparation, the organization can, and will, thrive for years to come.
