A planning process designed to help you realize your business goals.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
The key to strategy is a verb, not a noun. It’s about the planning, not the plan.
Every business and team needs regular planning to achieve its goals, yet many leaders don’t have a process for it. Even when a plan is made, it’s rarely revisited. Without practices to track progress and make intentional changes, you can’t be confident you’ll get where you want to go.
NoCo has developed this vetted approach to strategic business planning. We provide you with an easy format and thoughtful approaches that enable you to kick off a new business year with a clear path and a framework for pivots.
If you are ready to do strategic planning for your company or team for the first time — or you’ve tried and struggled in the past — we have the program for you.

CASE STUDY
Revitalizing Strategic Direction
Client:
Jolby, an independent design studio that delivers world-class brand and illustration systems.
Engagement:
After a shift in leadership, Jolby had us work with them to sharpen their brand positioning, build financial intelligence, and assist in business planning and operations. By analyzing books, team design, and pitch materials, we were able to find opportunities for solidifying the business as they moved into their next chapter.
An analysis of their accounts and delivery methods also led to an org chart that could support them into the future, as well as a career ladder to serve as an inspiring north star of excellence for all roles. We delivered a roadmap for implementation and supported leaders through the rollout and hiring.
Insight:
To make progress, make a plan.
To run a healthy team and studio, you need to make a yearly business plan. Setting objectives and defining key results is a critical part of this—but first you need to understand what you’re trying to measure and assess, and why.
