Strategic planning represents the core of IQ’s management consulting services. The creation and implementation of a strategic plan is essential to an organization’s long-term vitality, effectiveness, and sustainability. Strategic plans take many forms and vary in length, depending on your organization’s unique needs and resources. As a result, the strategic planning process can also vary from a more rapid, intensive approach typically lasting three to six months to a highly inclusive community and research-driven process extending up to 12 months.
