Strategic Planning

Success set in motion.

Many of our clients in both the business and non-profit sectors have discovered that their organizational challenges are too complex to be successfully resolved using internal resources. Often, there is an urgency to their need for strategies, systems, processes and cultural shifts to make their organization, individuals or departments more effective.

Many elements of successful strategic planning are similar whether you are a business, non-profit, small start-up or well-established organization. This allows us to start with these basic elements and then customize planning to the client type. The founder of VMC has taken key strategic principles learned from her experience in a for-profit company and volunteering on non-profit boards, and applied them to the strategic planning division of VMC.

We have helped clients in various types of organizations find their unique solutions to the most common questions:

• How do we create positive momentum and sustain energy as an organization?
• How do we strengthen our relationships with our most valued customers and acquire new business?
• How do we discover and build on our unique strengths?
• How do we resonate more strongly with our clients and maximize the effectiveness of our marketing and communications plans?

Once on board, we bring to the table a unique set of skills and experiences. We have the strategic, organizational and financial expertise to solve problems and develop both short- and long-term plans. We have faced many of the problems you are facing and learned how to solve them; we know what works and what is likely to fall short, and we are eager to pass our knowledge on to you. We understand how to get to the root of issues, identify what needs to be done and build a strategy and team to get the job done.

We also have the experience to quickly understand the culture of a client and adapt our thinking and recommendations to that culture. We are equally comfortable in the C-suite, in the boardroom and with our sleeves rolled up in the trenches. Walking your walk and becoming a true partner is key to gaining the insights that make our efforts ultimately successful. We leave each client as friends.

Finally, we understand that many considerations are at play in any situation and that the dynamics are often complicated and sensitive. At VMC, we are adept at navigating difficult circumstances, bringing to bear the highest levels of integrity and professionalism.
