Piloting a New Strategic Planning Process

A multi-billion-dollar healthcare company was preparing to roll out a new strategic planning process. As the deadline drew near, the Head of Strategy realized that her team was overstretched.

Business Talent Group delivered two experienced consultants to work in parallel. One plugged into a cross-functional team that was piloting the new process in 15 global locations, helping coordinate their efforts and serving as a central point of contact.

The other led a key part of the new planning process: research that synthesized internal interviews with targeted external analysis to help business unit leaders understand the implications of broader healthcare trends on their work—and, more importantly, their plans for the next year.
