Reimagine Strategic Planning

Clarify your vision. Align your team. Make pivotal decisions.

Does your business lack a clear direction or struggle to prioritize effectively? You’re not alone. Many organizations operate without a strategic plan, leading to mission drift, wasted resources, and ultimately, a lack of impact.

Strategic Planning with BOxD is your roadmap to success. We use a collaborative, structured process that brings your leadership and stakeholders together to build a shared vision for the future, including the strategies, goals, objectives and activities that will bring that vision to life.

The resulting strategic plan is a documented blueprint that your team has bought into, covering where the business is going, how it will get there, and specific ways to determine if you’ve arrived at the destination.  Getting your organization on the same page is game-changing!

Why BOxD?

While other strategic planning consultants focus their energy on a document, BOxD partners with you to not just develop the plan but also implement it.  We stand up execution processes that are sticky, consistent and lightweight so that every strategic decision at the organizational, leader and team level is aligned with your mission and values. Other firms specialize in one of these areas, but at BOxD, we know that all three layers need expert attention for sustained change.

Choices about programs, staff, infrastructure, technology and more are being made on a daily basis and each choice carries real consequences.  Without a strategic plan to guide decision-making, it’s easy to spend precious human and financial resources on ineffective work that doesn’t advance your mission.

BOxD leverages the power of our Organization Design Sandwich framework to dissect your critical strategic issues and transform strategy conversations into actionable roadmaps. As each piece evolves in relation to strategic decisions, you’ll be able to identify what’s working and what isn’t – and course correct to better use resources and achieve greater impact.

How is BOxD coaching different?
We blend coaching and consulting.


Part of the value of coaching is uncovering insights about yourself through skilled questioning and observation. But receiving endless questions when what you most need are valuable answers is frustrating!

That’s why we’re not purists – BOxD coaches will move seamlessly between coaching and consulting, depending on what your new leaders need. All of our coaches are proven senior executives themselves. They’ve led multi-billion dollar businesses, grown organizations from the ground up, had successful exits as CEOs, and they’ve shifted from high-level technical experts to real transformative leaders. They GET it!
