The strategic plan
Goals, initiatives and KPIs for the horizon the leadership team is planning on, aligned to the operating model.
The plan your leadership runs on and the plan a funder, acquirer or board must approve are usually the same plan told to two audiences. Strategic planning services at ACCUREX produce both documents from one engagement, kept consistent with each other.
A board paper carries one set of goals, a lender's pack carries another, and the leadership team runs off a third. The gap is rarely in the strategy; it is in writing the strategy down three times, each for a different reader. Market data, financial projections and the operating-model implications end up slightly different in each copy. ACCUREX writes the strategy once, then presents it in the forms each audience needs, so no reader is reading a different plan.
Business planning services at ACCUREX cover the two documents and the analysis behind them:
Goals, initiatives and KPIs for the horizon the leadership team is planning on, aligned to the operating model.
Growth, funding or investor cases built from the same strategy.
The evidence base both documents rest on.
The structure, capability and cost the strategy needs.
Each number paired with the assumption behind it, so the reader can test it.
The sequence of initiatives after approval, with owners and dates.
The approval pack, drawn directly from the finished document.
Share the horizon, what the plan has to help decide and the audience that approves it, and strategic plan development can be scoped around those three.
Start your planThe decision the plan supports, the approving audience and the planning horizon are agreed; the two output documents are confirmed.
Market and competitor analysis, operating-model options and financial projections are prepared, with assumptions stated.
Facilitated sessions take the analysis into decisions; the strategic plan and the business plan draft against those decisions.
The two documents are finished together, the presentation is prepared, and the roadmap is handed to the teams that will deliver it.
Initiatives, KPIs and the execution roadmap sit with the team doing the work.
The same strategy is translated into the case, the market, the financials and the risks they need to see.
A change to the strategy updates both; a change to the figures updates both; nothing drifts between copies.
Corporate strategic planning at ACCUREX runs for growing corporates, SACCOs and microfinance institutions, SMEs preparing for growth or sale, family businesses handing over to the next generation, schools and healthcare providers, and donor-funded programmes. Each engagement is sized to the headcount, the funding model and the depth of the decision the plan must support.
A strategic plan is written for the organisation that will run it, covering goals, initiatives and KPIs across the chosen horizon. A business plan is the case for a specific audience, usually a lender, an investor, a board or an acquirer. ACCUREX produces both from the same engagement.
A business plan document (narrative, market, operating model, financials, risks and the ask), the supporting market and competitor analysis, the financial projections with the assumptions underneath, and the presentation prepared for the approving audience. All of it draws on the same strategic plan the leadership team is running.
Leadership brings the business, the sector insight and the choices. Strategic planning consultants bring the market data, the financial modelling, the writing discipline, and the facilitation that keeps the group deciding rather than discussing. The plan still belongs to leadership.
Decisions, not slides. Each session takes a part of the plan (the market view, the goal set, the operating model, the financial case, the risk register) and ends with a decision captured in the document. The next session builds on the one before, so the plan accumulates rather than restarts.
The business plan document and the presentation drawn from it. Both carry the strategy, the market evidence, the financial projections with assumptions, the operating-model implications and the risks. The level of detail is pitched to the audience; the content is the same.
Every number in the financial projection carries the assumption behind it: price, volume, the cost base, the FX rate, the ramp. The assumptions are stated in the document and tested in the leadership session, so the board, the lender or the investor can challenge the one that matters.
Through sector data, public reporting on competitors, interviews with people who know the market, and ACCUREX's own prior work in the sector. The analysis sits as a short, decision-ready chapter of each document, not an appendix the reader skips.
They are versioned together and share the same source model for financials, the same operating-model view and the same goal set. A change made during a funding negotiation updates the strategic plan; a change leadership makes on a Monday updates the business plan. The two never drift.
A sequenced list of initiatives, each one with a named owner, a due date and the measure that will show it has landed. The roadmap passes to the teams delivering it, and the review routine is agreed at hand-over; Performance Management & OKRs cascades the targets below.
The duration depends on the horizon, the complexity of the business, the data available and the approving audience. A consultant sets the timeline against the decision date the plan has to meet, so the engagement runs to the deadline rather than drifting past it.
The horizon, what the plan has to decide and who signs it off are the start of the scoping conversation.
