Strategic Planning for Leadership Teams
Align your leadership team behind one clear plan for growth — a plan everyone owns and everyone executes.
The Problem
A talented team pulling in different directions.
Most leadership teams aren’t short of talent — they’re short of alignment. Without one shared plan, each department optimises its own patch, priorities quietly compete, and the same debates resurface every quarter. Good people work hard, but the effort pulls in slightly different directions and momentum leaks away.
Strategic Planning fixes that. In a structured, facilitated process, we align your leaders behind a single clear plan — so everyone knows the destination, owns their part, and is accountable for delivering it.
What’s Involved
From assessment to one clear plan.
A structured process built on the Adding Zeros 5 Disciplines — Strategy, Business Development, Execution, Mission and People.
01
5D Assessment
An organisational development assessment across all five disciplines — so you see clearly where you are before you plan where you’re going.
02
2-Day Planning Retreat
A focused, facilitated offsite where your leadership team aligns on vision, priorities and the year ahead.
03
Quarterly 1-Day Sessions
Every 90 days we review progress, reset priorities and keep accountability tight, so the plan drives real action.
04
One Page Strategic Plan
Your whole strategy on a single page — clear enough for everyone to see it, own it and act on it every day.
The One Page Strategic Plan
One page. One plan. One direction.
The best strategic plans aren’t forty-page documents that gather dust. They fit on a single page your whole leadership team can see, own and act on every day — aligning your strategy, your people and your execution behind one clear direction.
01 · A clear destination
We start with where the business is going — your long-term vision and the three-year and one-year picture that make it real. When everyone can see the destination, every decision beneath it gets easier.
02 · 90-day priorities
Big goals are won in 90-day chunks. We agree the handful of priorities that matter most this quarter — each with a clear owner and deadline — so the team focuses on what moves the needle instead of firefighting.
03 · Aligned strategies
We map the specific strategies that will hit those goals across the five disciplines of growth — Strategy, Business Development, Execution, Mission and People — so the plan strengthens every part of the business, not just one.
04 · Measures that matter
A plan you can’t measure is a wish. We define the KPIs that tell you, week by week, whether you’re winning — so progress is visible, accountability is real, and problems surface early enough to fix.
05 · A quarterly rhythm
Every 90 days we come back together to review what worked, reset priorities and re-plan the next quarter. That rhythm keeps the plan alive, keeps the team accountable, and compounds momentum year after year.
