Strategy + Planning
Get clear. Know where you are going and why, and then show people the way.
Workshops, projects and visual tools get the wisdom out of people's heads and into action.
Strategy + Planning services
We are trusted by clients like you, to help them focus on just three things - get clear, get organised and get outcomes. That's the shorthand for our three service areas:
- Strategy +Planning
- Operations +Processes
- Risks + Delivery
Organisations large and small appreciate the practical and no-nonsense approach Applied Wisdom brings to distilling a clear focus for improvement, identifying and planning achievable changes, and delivering meaningful results.

Strategy + Focus
We use straightforward visual tools, human contact and deep experience to boil strategy down to its nuts and bolts.
Strategy is all about how you choose to arrange your resources to successfully meet your goals.
Goals. Success metrics. Resources. Arrangements. Choices.
Simple to say, hard to keep simple.
But using Business Analysis and Design, along with great tools and techniques, we'll work with you, your leaders and your team, to make sure you get clear on the goals, root causes and changes that will make the big impacts. It's not just a talking shop. Ishikawa root cause analysis, Jobs To Be Done theory and the Value Proposition canvas turn the ideas and words into priorities.
We'll help you identify the most vital qualitative and quantitative success metrics, and ways to keep on top of them to avoid surprises. We'll look at how your people, assets, knowledge, skills and connections give you the resources to get the job done. We'll support you through the choices you need to make to organise, arrange and delegate action.
Our strategy work can start with a 2-hour session, define programme or project strategies, feed into (or write) business cases, and carry on right through to longer term support arrangements.

Planning + Roadmaps
Planning is the first time your strategy gets tested. Whether you are agile, Agile, waterfall, PRINCE2, GSD or JFDI, the eventual outcomes need to be broken down, working back to today, to know the who, what, when, where, how and why.
Our three service areas work together to make sure your plans reflect your capabilities, risks and ability to control and influence.
We build on a history of Agile working, PRINCE2, and startup methodologies, allied with experience in people leadership, customer service, business cases and improvement initiatives.
We work with you and your teams to discover and collate your joint wisdom into simple documents like RACI matrices, work breakdown structures, sprint plans, kanban boards, and high-level roadmaps.
