Strategic Business Planning Company (SBP) excels in assisting organizations with developing various
type of strategic planning tools. Research has shown, and our experience has demonstrated, that the process of
developing a (strategic) plan may be even more important than the plan itself. For this reason, we work intensely
on the planning process in order to assure the best possible “plan”, given all constraints. The plan must be one
that can be successfully implemented. But, even more important than the single plan produced today is the long-term
improvement in the organizations strategic planning processes.
The following table shows the strategic planning tools that SBP can help you develop as well as the
intermediate processes that might be employed in order to develop your plan.
Business Plan for small and startup businesses |
|
The most common planning tool for startup and very small businesses is a Business Plan. In such a small-company business plan, all of the planning components (such as the Marketing Plan) are integrated into the Business Plan.

|
Strategic Business Plan for larger and high-tech organizations |
|
For larger organizations, we propose developing a high-level Strategic Plan (StratPlan) followed by business plans for each major division or line of business.
There should always be a specialized division plan for the Information Systems area (SIS Plan) and for organizations with substantial intellectual property
(IP Plan).

Intellectual Property Plan (IP Plan) |
|
|
New product development of any type requires very carefully planned, integrated, long-term planning. The IP Plan integrates the planning process
and the product pipeline with patent protection and sustainable competitive advantage. SBP's COMPASS™ methodology identifies the best ways to commercialize
technologies and the incremental steps to achieve maximum value realization. There is increased pressure on R&D and product managers to demonstrate return on investments.

Strategic Information Systems Plan (SIS Plan) |
|
|
The SIS Plan creates a special departmental plan for Information Systems
that carefully aligns the corporate goals to the systems development and its capabilities.
The SIS Plan works best when higher-level planning has already been undertaken (StratPlan).
It requires a careful engagement of the rest of the organization in order to align the systems
and processes with the current and future requirements of the organization.
