Often the best strategies in business are conceptually the simplest ones. Yet the strategic planning process can be complex. It requires clarity of analysis and a true understanding of the organization's vision, values, mission, culture, abilities, resources, strengths, limitations, and opportunities.

In recent years Hilton Consulting has developed and refined a methodology for structuring the strategic planning process and tying it in with strategic performance measures and the Balanced Scorecard. Our methodology provides a structured framework and logical continuum for planning and implementing the strategies, measuring their results, evaluating their effectiveness, and reaffirming or refining the strategic direction. This framework is illustrated in the pyramid below.
