PHI’s 3-Step Strategic Plan
Part of our proprietary HOPE Framework, our approach to strategic planning includes our 3-step process for social enterprise organizations.
1. Learn & Discuss
Together, we review the current state of your organization through audit and environmental analysis to understand the core goals.
We perform a deep dive into your market to identify market advantages and eliminate the operational stagnation that holds mission-driven brands back.
2. Plan & Facilitate
We develop comprehensive strategic plans that incorporate your current state, market opportunities, challenges, and objectives.
We get stakeholders together to gain buy-in and check our understanding.
3. Strategize & Take Action
We outline the big-picture strategy, tactics, action steps, and timeline to provide an executable strategic roadmap in the context you need to move forward.
Work with PHI to co-develop your unique market advantage and plan of action; your organization will walk away with a clear, actionable, no-fluff plan that will work.
Most Common Strategic Planning Challenges
Making an impact sometimes feels aspirational instead of possible. Our social challenges have created a greater demand for real solutions that work, even as income inequality rises, political polarization increases, and the pace of information makes it harder to stand out. Three common obstacles hindering organzations from achieving effective strategic plans:
Tunnel Vision
Busy leaders who struggle with being “in the weeds” benefit from PHI’s external, 50,000-foot perspective to develop strategy, tactics, and action steps.
Too Distracted
It is easy to get distracted! Funding priorities shift, and social dynamics change quickly; demanding unexpected pivots.
We help you stop reacting to funding shifts. Instead, we’ll build a model that attracts values-aligned stakeholders and secures diversified funding
Feeling Overworked
Leaders often feel overworked, tirelessly navigating challenges. Efforts can feel repetitive while progress is elusive.
PHI aligns your plan, goals and activities so leaders who are feeling overworked can move from ‘in the weeds’ to ‘at the helm’
