Strategic Management

Whether through a one-day strategic planning retreat or full-scale plan development, our time-tested approach allows great ideas to surface and new solutions to germinate.

Strategic management for banks and financial institutions

Clarify Vision, Align Strategy, and Accelerate Success

We assess your current situation and help you identify the strategic objectives critical to your success. We uncover the goals and tasks necessary to hone and implement your strategy, then develop financial projections based on the objectives.

Our approach:

1
A process that fosters rigorous debate.

Planning retreats often provide a forum to exchange and debate ideas. Our expert facilitators ensure effective communication.

2
Planning that gets done on time.

 You’ll receive a strategic and/or capital plan by agreed-upon completion dates.

3
Strategy linked to execution.

We bring the process from 10,000 feet to the ground level. Managers are given a road map with actionable tasks to accomplish organizational objectives.

Additional Services


You can add services to strategic planning or request them on a stand-alone basis.

Capital planning

Through interviews, we identify overall strategy with an emphasis on growth plans, balance sheet risk appetite, desired capital levels and potential sources of capital. We develop the written portion of capital plans and often identify and prioritize capital enhancement alternatives for senior management and boards of directors.

Strategic alternatives analysis/360 degree review

We will work with you to develop an economic value on individual strategies, identify strategic value gaps that must be bridged, and determine what you can reasonably pay or reasonably receive in a merger or acquisition transaction.
