Strategic planning involves outlining your business’ current position and establishing your new direction. This is a lengthy, detailed process designed to provide visibility on the resources, tools and steps needed to achieve your long-term organisational goals.
But here at TBG, we take a slightly different approach to strategic planning services.
We use the OKR framework to take your strategic planning process to the next level. OKRs are the execution tool for your business strategy; they provide ambitious, short-term goals that will help you bring your strategic plan to life.
This ensures you only allocate time and effort to the tasks that make the maximum impact.
When combined with OKRs, the strategic planning process can benefit your organisation in many ways.
Strategy planning is all about direction and focus. Without this, you’ll struggle to achieve your business goals.
The OKR process involves your teams setting specific objectives to aim towards and these are linked to the organisation’s strategic priorities. This provides company-wide clarity on the direction of the business.
It’s great to have a strategic business plan in place, but how do you know if the actions you’re taking are making an impact? This is where OKRs become a vital asset to the strategic planning process.
With Key Results, you can easily see whether you’re making progress or not and adapt your strategy if needed.
Strategic planning involves focusing on the long-term, larger company goals. As a result, you’ll need everyone on your team on board to ensure you achieve your vision.
Fortunately, the OKR process involves active participation from all levels of the hierarchy. And when employees opinions are valued, engagement and overall job satisfaction can improve as a result.

What does strategic planning mean?
Strategic planning is the process of steps that should be taken when implementing a strategy.
This process can differ from organisation to organisation, but it predominantly follows six key steps:
Why is strategic planning important in business?
Without a clear strategy, you won’t be able to achieve your overall goals. Strategic planning ensures that you have the tools in place to achieve your objectives, so it’s essential for protecting the longevity of your business.
Who should be involved in strategic planning?
All members of an organisation will be involved in the strategic planning process in some way. In most cases, senior management and business owners will establish long-term company goals. Then, a strategic planning consultant can help to outline the steps needed to achieve these goals.
Whereas, employees are encouraged to set OKRs that will be linked to the wider company objectives.
Can you use OKRs in the strategic planning process?
Yes! In fact, we encourage it. OKRs provide a clear outline of how your strategy should be implemented.
