Argenti Process for Strategic Planning

The Argenti Strategic Planning Process is a robust system that helps organisations create clear, logical and simple strategic plans. It takes a look at:

  • What your organisation is trying to do (your objective)
  • How you can measure the objective
  • Uncovering past performance and projecting future performance
  • Setting targets
  • Performing SWOT analysis
  • Developing strategies which build on the strengths, overcome the weaknesses, take advantage of the opportunities and counter the threats to fill the gaps
  • Developing action plans for effective execution
