Management Consulting
The GideonStone team works closely with C-suite leaders in a variety of situations: in times of growth or change, in challenging financial situations, when dealing with staff transitions, and when facing a crisis.
We help new executive directors, leaders or leadership teams determine first-100-days priorities, assess current staffing and processes, review organizational structure, evaluate board effectiveness and provide counsel in times of crisis or major changes in marketplace conditions, revenue streams or staff/board composition.
GideonStone also conducts Pre-hire Workforce Environmental Assessments, including SWOT Analysis, to evaluate the perceived staffing gap requiring a new position and/or replacement in an existing position. This process allows us to assist the organization in ensuring the correct role is being proposed/structured. It allows us to make recommendations regarding the essential strengths or experiences needed to create success and the types of personalities that might struggle in the proposed role.
Strategic Planning
Our team facilitates customized strategic planning, including half-day or daylong meetings, weekend planning retreats or multiple sessions over a period of time. To ensure success, we incorporate pre-meetings with the organization’s leaders or executive team, as well as independent research and analysis to guide planning goals.
Our strategic planning process is customized to your needs – never cookie-cutter – but generally includes an organizational assessment, competitor/marketplace analysis, a communication audit, gathering of information and insights from your key stakeholders and constituents, research insights to guide planning, a presentation/workshop with your leadership team/board to process the data and recommendations, and a written strategy document to guide your organization. We specifically help executive teams and boards understand the value and ROI of strategic alignment.
To develop a successful annual and/or long-term strategic plan, you need a partner who can draw transformative and realistic ideas from your team and who can provide research insights that power your plan and inform your organizational identity.
Contact us today to develop a strategic plan for your company or organization that helps you achieve your critical financial and awareness goals.
