SME Strategy is a strategy consulting company that specializes in aligning teams around their vision, mission, values, goals and action plans. Learn more about how we can help you and your team create a strategic plan with our strategic planning and implementation services.
There are a variety of large management consulting firms such as Bain, McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group (to name a few) that help organizations with various issues, including strategic planning.
These larger organizations use their people power, both in number and in skills of data analysis, to help business leaders make the best decisions and plans for their organizations. These firms have access to abundant resources, and they will charge you no less than a mid-five figures to work with them .
If you're a small or mid-sized business (under 300 employees), non-profit organization, or a public service or government entity, you likely won't need the extent of services that the big management consulting firms offer. If you did hire one of those strategy consulting firms, you likely wouldn't get the same exceptional value from it as large corporations would, as you wouldn't need the array of additional services they offer.
Smaller management consulting firms that specialize in strategic planning and meeting facilitation specialize in working closely with small and mid-sized organizations to maximize value of their strategic planning cycles.
