Strategic Planning and Development
While most of us would acknowledge
that planning is an intrinsic part of effectively
leading a business, few business leaders ever
derive the full value and benefit of effective
planning. Additionally, a failure to successfully
translate the results of planning activities into
actionable plans that yield results causes both
leaders and employees to disregard the benefits
of those efforts.
At The Walton Group we believe that strategic
planning activities should lead directly to:
- increased revenues
- improved operational management
- increased employee satisfaction
- improved customer satisfaction
If your planning efforts successfully
yielded this kind of value, would you ever question
the need to plan?
The Walton Group works with our
clients to create custom strategic planning initiatives,
conduct discovery and investigation activities,
facilitate processes and planning meetings, and
create structured implementation plans that yield
measurable benefit.
What our clients are saying:
"Using a systematic approach,
The Walton Group took the time necessary to
evaluate our current processes in light of our
operating goals, and helped us to craft new
processes to achieve those goals. Of critical
importance to this project were the extensive
interviews they conducted with each of the key
managers. They helped us to begin thinking more
strategically by pushing us to look for new
ways to solve old problems. We have realized
a 15% increase in implementation throughput
because of their involvement."

Organizational Design
Companies depend on successful
teams, committed employees, and clarity of expectations
to deliver value in the marketplace and create
profitable value. This is both the strength and
the risk of any business, the need to depend on
a large collection of people with enormously different
personalities, needs, and desires to work together
in a concerted way to create consistent and high
value results.
- Does the corporate culture of your company
create a desire to serve the needs of the customer
profitably?
- Do the results of your company change when
there is less direct oversight?
- Is there an awareness of the impact and value
creation that each leader creates through the
entire organization structure?
- Does your organization have a naturally
self-sustaining operating model, that continuously
drives high performance, on it's own?
Organizations that work with The Walton
Group and our approach to organizational
design typically experience:
- Reduced failure costs and organizational risk
- Increased productivity and performance against
standards
- Increased employee satisfaction and retention
of high performing leaders
- Reduction of non-productive and non-aligned
business activity
- Increased profitability
- Reduction in management overhead to sustain
and support this effort
We believe that winning organizations succeed
when they are naturally self-sustaining, enjoying
a form of corporate governance that manages results
and reduces overhead.
