The One Page Strategic Plan® the core tool in a proven effective strategic planning process designed to deliver Superior Results Through Relentless Clarity and FocusTM  for all types of organizations, whether they be for-profit or non-profit.  

Prior to founding this business, our team had over 100 years of experience running profitable businesses and leading development of successful strategic plans.  By serving on dozens of non-profit Boards, we have also learned about the unique needs and challenges of setting priorities in mission-driven organizations.  One Page Solutions LLC’s expert facilitators have helped clients to complete more than 800 One Page Strategic Plans in 100+ unique organizations over the past 20 years.   

This client work has also helped us to understand the many reasons why strategic planning often falls short of expectations: 

• There was a lack of clarity from senior leaders on what success looks like over a defined period and poor alignment functionally on what winning looks like
• They were not selecting objectively quantifiable goals to track progress continually; not addressing gaps early in the year while there is still time to fix them
• There was a failure to make clear strategic choices, what we call “straddling” – spreading yourself way too thin geographically or via the definition of your target customers
• They were selecting way too many project priorities to work on simultaneously; many of these projects are too small to “move the needle” for the total business
• They were not matching the strategic plan to organization capability – trying to do everything; there is no clear Won’t Do List®
• They were not facing competitive weaknesses or external barriers
• The strategic plan was too voluminous, jargony, or complex to deploy efficiently
• There was an absence of continuous deployment and on-going measurement and adjustment; the plan was not formally renewed annually
• Reward systems were not closely aligned with what you want to achieve

If any of these issues sound familiar, then you need our One Page Solutions®.  Our core tool is often nicknamed OGSP® by our clients (for Objective, Goals, Strategies, Plans, which make up the four key sections of the document).  To learn more, go to the What is OGSP®? section on the left or to hear from one of our expert facilitators select Contact Us.
