"Strategy Drives Value."  Peter Adams

The difference between a low value startup and one that excited investors and hits the highest valuations is often nothing more than strategy.  While you can't make a million dollars in a weekend by updating your strategic plan, you can significantly increase the value of ANY company of any size by implementing a strategic planning process.

Nobody wants the old 200 page dusty SBA business plan tome.  This workshop  is targeted to today's fast-paced venture capital environment with a goal of achieving rapid execution. 

A strategic plan should be a dynamic, changing document that provides a roadmap for all the stakeholders in the organization.  We will cover how to create plans that can be changed frequently vs. those that set your course in stone.

 

 This workshop will walk through essential topics, such as:

  • How to write an effective Mission, Vision and Values statement.  (Trick: They should be no longer than a tweet, and should be memorable).
  • Objectives - how to identify the 4-6 BIG things that your organization needs to focus on.
  • Strategies - how to create actionable strategy statements that lead to execution.
  • Tactics - what are the measurable tasks that need to be done to achieve your strategies? 
  • Alignment - how to make sure everyone in your organization is aligned with the same values and direction.
  •  

This will be a highly interactive workshop so we encourage you to bring your own strategic planning drafts or issues so that we can answer specific questions along the way.

Meet and learn with other Rockies Venture Club participants in a relaxed, collaborative environment.
