Resetting strategic direction with a practical, delivery-ready corporate plan
The client:
A leading NSW Government cultural agency seeking to reset its strategic direction following an organisational review.
At a glance:
Executive alignment achieved in weeks
Clear, actionable corporate plan developed under tight timeframes
Embedded capability for ongoing strategic planning
The challenge
The agency needed a corporate plan that would do more than meet compliance requirements. It had to:
Establish a clear and credible vision
Align senior leadership and Board
Translate strategy into practical actions
Be delivered within a compressed timeframe
Our approach
We worked closely with the executive, Board and Change Team to co-design a plan that was both strategic and implementable:
Structured executive workshops to align on vision and priorities
Evidence-based prioritisation drawing on earlier review insights
Rapid plan development with iterative drafting and feedback
Targeted stakeholder materials to support executive communication
The outcome
The organisation successfully finalised and launched its corporate plan within a strict timeframe, with:
A clear organisational vision and set of strategic priorities
Defined measures of success aligned to whole-of-government objectives
Practical action plans to support implementation
Strong executive ownership and stakeholder confidence in the direction
Importantly, the process built internal capability to refresh and evolve the plan over time, ensuring it remains a living document rather than a static output.
What made the difference
Lean, senior-led delivery approach
Strong facilitation to build alignment quickly
Focus on practical implementation, not just strategy
Embedded knowledge transfer to client teams
