Asia Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is often nothing more than a glorified budget process. At best, companies use the planning process to forecast future revenues and costs; at worst the process is time consuming and does nothing more valuable than create a large pile of paper in the bottom drawer.
Woodward Partners helps companies undertake effective strategic planning processes leading to higher returns and growth. These processes are not time consuming and they do not involve mountains of paper, but they do involve challenging current thinking and identifying opportunities to build value. We help clients identify capability gaps and marketplace opportunities through a comprehensive assessment of Asia distribution management, governance structures, and value networks that affect your company's performance. Through tactical goals and tracking systems, Woodward ensures results.
