Strategic Planning

Address potential weaknesses and capitalize on strengths

JACO’s strategic planning advisors are specialists in guiding mid-market, closely held, and family-owned businesses toward sustainable growth and success. Reaching those goals takes time and intentional business planning.

Developing our clients’ corporate and business strategic plans involves understanding their values, mission, and vision for success. When everyone aligns with the company’s direction, it fosters unity and ensures decisions are consistent with the overall direction.

How we do it.

We work with you to realize your vision and develop and execute strategies to increase your organization’s enterprise value. We do this through:

  • Values/Mission/Vision Development
  • Business Strategy
  • Capabilities/Geographic Expansion
  • Market Shifts/Stagnation
  • Accountability/Oversight/Coaching

When defining business strategies, JACO takes an outside-in approach. We start by deeply assessing the industry: analyzing trends, competitors’ actions, changing customer needs, and identifying profitable opportunities. Following the industry analysis, we help our clients define capability-driven strategies to win within their targeted market segments. Most mid-market businesses must make tough priority choices, so it is critical to be selective and judicious with resources.

Maximize impact while minimizing risk

We understand resource constraints because we have led mid-market businesses and worked alongside family-owned businesses. To that end, we work with clients to amplify their strengths at high-leverage points to maximize impact and minimize risk. Risk management goes hand in hand with a business’s strategic plan. By partnering with strategic planners, you will identify competitive advantages and craft a risk management and strategic plan that addresses potential weaknesses and capitalizes on strengths.

Whether you are in a mature market segment, an evolving segment, or attacking an adjacency, we can help you evaluate the landscape and craft a winning corporate strategy. Strategic planning allows your business to recognize growth scenarios, adjust to a changing market environment, and achieve profitability goals.

At JACO, we are experts at partnering with mid-market and family-owned businesses that see the advantages of developing a far-reaching vision and executing a well-planned strategy. Working with JACO will help set your course for long-term success and growth.
