As the consultant hired to facilitate the strategic planning process consider the following:
1. Outline for the Board what they should consider when building a strategic plan.
When constructing the strategic plan, the BCAEW’s board should consider the following
factors: it should articulate the vision and the mission because they share the company’s purpose
of operating and describe what the firm wants to achieve in the long-term. Second, they should
identify the stakeholders because they influence the company’s business. Additionally, the board
should scan the internal environment to identify the company’s strengths and weaknesses.
Assessing the external environment is also important since it helps identify threats and
opportunities (Albrechts & Balducci, 2013). The board should also consider combining its
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, as well as threats into a single analysis to fuel goal-setting
and positioning to attain the company’s success. In addition, the board should consider defining
the firm’s competitive advantage to find a unique position that can be occupied by the business.
2. Describe an appropriate strategic planning process and model. How are you going to
guide the organization through this process?
BCAEW has been operating for more than 30 years. The intention of developing a
strategic plan is to widen the company’s scope and look for new ways of doing things and
opportunities. Hence, the best strategic planning process and model that is appropriate for
BCAEW is the issue-based model (Wolf & Floyd, 2017). The model entails evolving to a more
involved approach by making use of a more comprehensive method of planning. This is how I
would guide the organization through the model: first, I would run an internal and external
analysis to outline the SWOT. Second, I would identify the main issues and goals. Next step
