Business Planning
Business Planning connects mission to strategy to execution in a sustainable way.
A business planning effort starts by creating a strategy, then assessing the economic and operational requirements for its success. Through an intensive, focused, iterative process, and using powerful financial modeling tools, La Piana helps clients to review and refine their current thinking, challenge assumptions, and reframe the organization’s plans as needed for maximum likelihood of success.
