Strategic Planning
This is not your Father’s Strategic Planning Process. How many times have you been to an “off site”, spent hours (if not days) conducting SWOT analyses, brainstorming, sticking poster paper to the walls, creating a beautiful “Strategic Plan”, that sits on your shelf or in your drawer until the next “Planning Cycle” rolls around?
At E.L. Smith Consulting, we work with you to create the “Strategic Plan” – but the difference is that we “Coach” you after the plan is created. We meet with you and/or your team regularly for six months to one year to ensure that the plan is meaningful, relevant and that it is integrated into the corporate culture.
An effective Strategic Plan is a living document, that when utilized as a tool - rather than an accoutrement – will keep the organization focused and moving forward toward success.

Group Facilitation
Whether your Group is a Focus Group, Community Group, Board of Directors, or Governmental entity, our professionals excel in facilitating the “Critical Conversations” necessary to identify the issues, bring focus and arrive at consensus on the resolution.

Team Building
As hackneyed as the term “Team Building” may sound, it is still an integral part of an effective and prosperous organization.
The E. L. Smith Team Building program has three components:
|
-
Success Through Strengths – an assessment of individual strengths, and the creation of a Team Strength Profile
-
Communication – with a focus on intergenerational communication in the workplace
-
Core Competencies – identification of the organization’s Core Competencies and the creation and alignment of the Team Core Competencies.
|
Succession
Planning
The demand for effective manager’s and employees has never been higher. A relatively new term is the business lexicon, “Succession Planning” is quickly assuming an important role in any organization. With Baby Boomers leaving the workforce in alarming numbers, effective organizations must be diligent in their efforts to replace the Boomers – or convince them to stay.
Succession Planning includes:
|
- Identification or affirmation of the organization’s Core Competencies
- Assessment of the organization’s goals and objectives
- Identification of the current workforce strengths
- Identification of future workforce developmental needs
- Identification of future workforce employees
