    Strategic Planning Services

    Running a small or medium business often means you’re responsible for just about everything. When you’re pulled in so many directions, some aspects don’t get the attention they deserve. For example, you may recognize the value of strategic planning – but you probably don’t have the time to figure out precisely what is required, or the time to accomplish it.

    At GrahamGolden Technologies, we understand the myriad challenges facing small and mid-sized businesses, and which technology choices afford the best value and productivity. We’ve worked with a wide range of organizations to develop a variety of effective, ongoing strategic planning initiatives.

    Our Strategy and Assessment Services are designed to help you achieve these key goals:

    Aligning Technology with Organizational Priorities – Successful IT initiatives are those with agendas that clearly support the organization’s priorities. We provide a planning process for technology that makes clear the connection between technology goals and the firm’s priorities.

    Disseminating Understanding of Technology Requirements and Limitations – The planning process is an excellent vehicle for sharing information with all firm members on current operations, proposed changes, and constraints of technology. We help you take advantage of this opportunity to allow staff to voice concerns and desired improvements.

    Creating Alliances with Executives – Technology endeavors enjoy greater success when key executives have a sense of ownership. We help you create buy-in with these busy individuals by providing an efficient means for them to understand the importance of IT initiatives and participate as appropriate in identifying and shaping them.

    Assessing Existing Needs and Projecting Future Needs – Planning for the future is accomplished in part through a reactive process of addressing existing unmet needs. By accurately gauging current needs, we help you more effectively project required future improvements.

    Developing Funding Requirements – Often, the most challenging aspects of planning are determining a budget, lobbying for financial backing, and determining long-term funding levels. GGT’s planning process draws upon information gathered in the previous steps to identify an accurate budget and obtain funding commitments.
