How to Create a Strategic Plan

Looking for a way to take your company in a new and profitable direction? It starts with strategic planning. Keep reading to learn what a strategic plan is, why you need it and how you can strategically create one.

What Is a Strategic Plan?

When it comes to business and finance, strategic planning will help you allocate your resources, energy and assets. When implemented, a strategic plan will begin to move your operations in a more profitable direction. The primary goal of the plan is to ensure you and any other stakeholders are on the same page and striving to reach the same goal.

Creating a strategic plan requires a disciplined effort. Once you put the plan into action, it will influence the segment of customers that you target, how you serve those customers and the experience those customers have.

Assess the Current Infrastructure and Operations

The first step in creating a strategic plan is to carefully assess your existing infrastructure and operations. You can do this through a SWOT analysis, which is an analysis of the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The goal here is to pinpoint the resources that you use to carry out your day-to-day operations, to look at your monthly revenue patterns, to list any company challenges related to the customer experience and, most importantly, to look at your marketing methods and ways to improve the overall customer experience.

Creation of Mission Statement and Objectives

The next step is to create a mission statement. You may already have one, but it’s important to note your mission at the top of the strategic plan document you create. This ensures everyone is focused on the same goal. Your mission statement should cover why you started the company and what you intend to accomplish through the products and services that you offer.

In addition to the mission statement, make sure to outline both short- and long-term objectives. List the objectives according to their priority and designate certain managers or employees to be responsible for each one. Also, jot down the resources that will be used to achieve each objective.

Measure Performance

Now that you know what you’re trying to achieve and who is responsible for each goal, it’s time to deploy the plan and measure its progress. A weekly meeting is extremely important for all managers and stakeholders provide feedback. Your goal is to determine if the company is headed in the right direction. If not, you’ll need to revise the strategic plan accordingly.

Strategic Plans Are Ongoing

Once your strategic plan helps you achieve several objectives, it’s smart to regroup and set new objectives. As your company grows, you can set new goals to ensure the company keeps moving forward. You can share the success of your strategic plan with potential investors as a way to tap into new capital funding.

Our partnership with Invest Blue makes us big enough to deliver but still small enough to care about each and every family we work with”.

This has been an exciting change as Invest Blue have the same passion for its people and clients.

At Invest Blue we feel that financial planning is so much more than investing people’s money. We spend time with our clients to really understand what they want out of life and then act as lifelong mentors and coach to assist them in achieving their goals.

Once we have identified (and quantified) these objectives we then help our clients make smart decisions with their money, and avoid silly mistakes. This is done through providing comprehensive recommendations via the development of a financial plan.

This financial plan then forms the basis for our ongoing coaching and review service. Even the likes of Greg Norman, Michael Jordan and Cathy Freeman had coaches and our process is designed to review the progress towards objectives, make any necessary adjustments and maximise the chance of success.

At Invest Blue we will partner with you throughout life's journey.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FINANCIAL ADVICE IN CANBERRA

The price for financial advisor services will vary depending on your financial situation and the tasks you want your planner to perform. For example, if you are looking for a complete holistic financial plan, the price will be quite different compared to getting advice on a specific situation or goal.

Financial planners generally charge fixed prices depending on what service is provided. There will usually be an upfront fee for the initial plan and strategy, followed by an annual fee for regular reviews. According to the Financial Planning Association ( FPA ), the average initial set-up cost is around $3,300, and then around $4,300 per year for annual advice and maintenance. However, be sure to discuss fees with your financial advisor up front, as they may have a different fee structure.

The majority of the best financial advisors in Hobart are based in the City Centre and Battery Point. However, there are a number of financial planners who operate out of offices in Rosny Park in the East and Granton in North Hobart.

However, it also worth noting that many financial planners are currently offering virtual appointments. Therefore, it is worth reaching out even if your preferred financial advisor isn’t in a convenient location for you.

To compile a list of the best financial planners, we have reviewed all of the financial advisors in Hobart. To help determine our top ten advisors, we assessed their qualifications, how long they have been advising, testimonials, and their track record of reviews on Google and Facebook. Only those advisors that have received consistent positive feedback have been included on our list of best financial planners in Hobart.

Finding the right financial advisor for you can be a complicated process as there are many different types of financial advisors. If you are looking for a financial planner in Hobart, here are some things you might want to consider.

First, what qualifications and accreditations do they have? This alone does not make them the best financial advisor for you, but at least you know that they’ve done the proper tests and registrations.

Second, do they have any specialisations or have a particular type of client? This can help you determine if they have the expertise and relevant experience for your type of situation.

Finally, how is their communication? At the end of the day, you need to know that you can have a free line of communication with them. They will need to listen to your concerns and answer you questions in a timely manner. Overall, you need to be comfortable speaking with and listening to your financial planner.
