Best practices for identifying strategic
priorities.
Why do strategic planning?
• To focus your resources on the things that are
going to have the most impact.
• To give a sense of purpose and direction to your
staff.
• To not be surprised by (and suffer from) events
that happen inside and outside your organization.
Learning Outcomes
• Be able to identify the best alternatives for you
and your team
• Be able to prioritize different strategic initiatives.
• Be able to measure and mange progress against
goals
• Have a deeper understanding of the strategic
planning process and how it can help your
organization.
About me.
• Managing Partner at SME Strategy Consulting
• Entrepreneur, Author and Speaker.
• Passionate Soccer Fan
• Have watched a baseball game in 7/30 MLB
stadiums
• Started SME Strategy to help business owners
with the things that they don’t know.
What are strategic priorities
• Over arching activities that help guide your team
with your everyday activities & additional
responsibilities.
Why are they important?
• They make your strategy easy to understand
communicate to your team and stakeholders.
• Think of New Years resolutions
Part of the Process
• At SME Strategy we use Aligned Strategy
Development
• Creating and identifying priorities is part of a
holistic process to create and implement on a
strategic plan.
Feel free to use any methodology you like: As long
as you get your plan executed 
Look at the Vision and Mission
• What is going to make the biggest impact
towards accomplishing your mission and your
vision.

Webinar  strategic priorities- aug 2 2016
How do you determine the
best strategic priorities?
Want to know what people care
about? Ask them
• Run a survey
• Brainstorm within teams
• Create a culture of sharing
• Strategic planning off-site
Questions we ask
• If you had to pick one goal or target for us to hit
over the next 12-24 months, what would it be?
• If you had 3 wishes that would make your job
better or make the company run better, what
would they be?
Important side note
• Your organization is made up of people.
• Are you managing them, leading them or working
with them?
• They hold the key to the success of your plans.
Putting the picture together
• Based on your SWOT, trends and direction and
guidance.
• What are some important priorities for you and
your team that will move the needle on your
organization?
How do you prioritize
• Dot-mocracy.
• Cost/benefit
• Expertise
Strategy is art and science; Prioritization is the hard
part of strategy
Measurement
• What other measures would contribute to that
larger goal?
o If you could think of three (not more) objectives that would move the
needle on that one most important goal, what would they be?
Measurement
• If you could choose one measure that would have
the most impact on the achievement of that
vision, what would it be?
o Think of that measure in the terms of going from X to Y by a certain
date.
o Can everyone in the organization contribute to this measure?
Balanced Scorecard

business-planning
Balanced Scorecard
Creating KPI’s
• Pushing on your people vs. pulling from your
people.
• You team is more likely to be engaged and
bought into the plan if they are consulted
throughout the process.
• What targets are achievable and realistic?
Allocating resources to
achieving the priorities
• Project plan
Objectives, Strategies and Tactics
• Who is responsible for the initiatives?
• Don’t swim part way.
Webinar  strategic priorities- aug 2 2016
Risk: TOO MANY Priorities
• It is very likely that there are several priorities
that your team wants to embark on.
• If you have 10 Priorities, you have none.
• We recommend 3 or 4; once you have met your
goals, move on.
Actions: NOW
• Get the ball rolling with easy wins.
• Take your team and plan 30/60/90 day targets.
• Who is responsible of the success of the
initiative?
• See Kotter change Model
Communicating
Communicating
• Text
• Audio
• Video
• Meetings
• Other
In Summary
• Look inside and out
• Align your priorities with your mission and vision
• Make goals that everyone can contribute to
• Make the priorities simple to understand, explain
and measure.
• Don’t do too much.
